Dynamic subscriber interfaces in a network device are provided. An input port receives data units from multiple subscribers. A primary interface extracts source identifiers from headers associated with the received data units and creates dynamic subscriber interfaces to allocate network device resources to each of the multiple subscribers based on the extracted source identifiers.

Systems and methods for implementing dynamic subscriber interfaces

A device associated with the authentication of a user on a network, i.e., an 'authentication device,' initiates lawful interception of network traffic associated with the user. The authentication device communicates with a network service device, such as an edge router, providing network access or other services to the user to enable and disable monitoring of the network user. The authentication device may issue intercept requests to the network service device upon authenticating the network user during login or at any time while the network user's session is in progress. Upon receiving an intercept request from the authentication device, the network service device mirrors data packets flowing to and from the network user for which interception has been designated. The mirrored packets are sent to an analyzer, which analyzes the packets and provides packet analysis information to a law enforcement agency.
