1. A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;
determining when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of targeted users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a communication device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an access point identifier associated with an access point, an indication as to a reason for ending a session associated with the active session information, a quantity of packets transferred during the session associated with the active session information, and a volume of data transferred during the session;
identifying the access point and a private internet protocol address associated with the target user when the target user is determined to be active and when network traffic associated with the target user is peer-to-peer network traffic; and
logging, at the access point, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with the private internet protocol address, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information only if the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address.

Abstract
A method for logging communication includes determining when a target user is active and identifying an access device and private Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the target user when the target user is active. The method further includes causing the access device to provide traffic information associated with the target user to a logging device.

12. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of targeted users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a communication device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an access point identifier associated with an access point, a session start time for a session associated with the active session information, a session end time for the session, a quantity of packets transferred during the session associated with the active session information, and a volume of data transferred during the session; identifying the access point and a private internet protocol address associated with the target user when the target user is determined to be active and when network traffic associated with the target user is peer-to-peer network traffic; and logging, at the access point, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with the private internet protocol address, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information only if the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
determining when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of targeted users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a communication device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an access point identifier associated with an access point, a quantity of packets transferred during the session associated with the active session information, and a volume of data transferred during the session; identifying the access point and a private internet protocol address associated with the target user when the target user is determined to be active and when network traffic associated with the target user is peer-to-peer network traffic; and logging, at the access point, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with the private internet protocol address, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information only if the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address.
