1. A method of acquiring information about communication among nodes in a network and producing data to be used to derive prosody information, the method comprising:
- intercepting chunks of data in the network by a tap located among the nodes in the network;
generating a file of data from the intercepted ones of the chunks of data, the data including characteristics of the intercepted chunks of data;
converting the data into at least one time series; and
processing the at least one time series to produce prosody information.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for acquiring information about communication among nodes [110, 210] in a network [100, 200] by intercepting chunks of data in the network by a tap [120, 220] located among the nodes [110, 210]. A file [740] of data, including characteristics [400] of the intercepted chunks may be produced. The data may be converted into at least one time series and processed to produce prosody information. The prosody information may be used by prosody analysis.
