!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is an [National Security Agency] ([NSA]) [SIGINT] program described as “high-speed passive collection systems intercept [for] foreign target satellite, microwave, and cable communications as they transit the globe”. Presumably all this collection is related to [Internet] data (DNI), rather than other forms of [SIGINT].
[NSA] collects using [{$pagename}] through a variety of sources. One of those is the [RAMPART-A] program, which provides foreign third-party “collection against long-haul international leased communications through special access initiatives with world-wide [SIGINT] partnerships”.
The [Internet] links that are tapped through [RAMPART-A] have “access to over 3 [Terabits] per second” of [data], and “every country code in the world is seen at one or more [RAMPART-A] collection accesses”. In other words, friendly communications companies provide access to their backbone links, and those “partners work the fiber projects under the cover of an overt [COMSAT] [communications] [satellite] effort”[{$pagename}] operates on the [packet] level, it can choose to handle certain types of traffic with special processing. From leaked documents, it is clear that there are at least three unique types of traffic that are handled at the [{$pagename}] level.
