I'm getting a lot of requests for data about, on and sniffed from
our networks.

Extending CALEA to ISPs, establishing a national early warning
cyber-monitoring center, collecting large scale test sets for
product evaluations.

How does this help ISPs?

A large scale test set to evaluated IDS systems only makes sense
if ISPs are planning to deploy large-scale IDS systems.  How many
ISPs have plans to deploy such systems?  Does DHS plan to deploy
such systems on ISP networks, which is driving their requirement
to collect test sets to evaluate such systems?
