1. A method for recording communications comprising:
- communicating instructions to a switching device of a network, the instructions indicating that IP packets associated with a communication that is to be recorded are to be directed to long term storage such that the network;
receives the instructions;
determines whether Internet Protocol (IP) packets, which are being communicated by the network, are associated with a communication that is to be recorded; and
directs information corresponding to the IP packets associated with the communication to a long term storage device,wherein communicating instructions to the network comprises broadcasting the instructions such that the switching device receives the instructions.
