[tvarriale at comcast.net (Tony Varriale)]

Would you mind passing along a source/link on the 15kpps?  I haven't seen 
that number yet.

this seems like much more work that matt blaze's work that said: "Just
send more than 10mbps toward what you want to sneak around... the
LEA's pipe is saturated so nothing of use gets to them"

Also, cisco publishes the fact that their intercept caps out at 15kpps
per line card, so... just keep a steady 15kpps and roll on.
