To help secure the physical layer of any network an intelligent physical layer management solutions (IPLMS) is required. These systems often combine intelligent patch panels with software features to provide information on the connectivity status of each port in the system. IPLMS can enable instant notification and documentation of moves, adds or changes (MACs) with constant updating of data-bases. These systems also can perform physical mapping of the network’s active devices, enabling the location of each device on the network, from the switch port on one end through the patch panel and outlet on the other. Thus it is clearly evident that why govt. authorities want all ISPs to log all customers Internet Protocol address for a minimum of six months to control cyber-terrorism, online crime and data theft across both public and private networks.
