本文分析了深度数据包检测（DPI）技术的社会影响。
深度数据包检测（DPI）监控技术是一种通信监控工具，能够在互联网通信的OSI参考模型的所有七层上监控通过互联网发送的网络数据流量，其中包括内容数据的监控。
本文中的分析基于20家生产和销售DPI技术的欧洲安全技术公司的产品表、自我描述和产品演示。对于每个公司，我们都对可用文件进行了文件分析。它侧重于以下四个方面：
1)生产和销售的互联网监控技术的描述和使用。
2)公司的自我描述。
3)解释互联网监控的相关性，即为什么该公司认为它生产和销售此类技术很重要。
4)一份文件，说明该公司对互联网监控背景下可能出现的机会和问题的看法。
DPI的社会影响的评估是基于安全行业代表，学者和隐私倡导者的意见，这些意见在白色文件，技术报告，研究报告，网站，新闻稿和新闻媒体中表达。这些结果可以归纳为几个影响层面：
1. DPI的潜在优势
2.网络中立
3.互联网服务提供商（ISP）破坏用户信任的力量
4. DPI监测的潜在功能蠕变
5.定向广告
6.对文件共享者的监视
7.政治压迫和社会歧视
对深度包检测（DPI）技术的分析表明，该技术对社会有各种潜在影响。一个普遍的结论是，为了了解新的监控技术，我们不仅需要隐私和数据保护评估，还需要更广泛的社会和道德影响评估。
This research paper analyses societal implications of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technologies.
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) surveillance technologies are communications surveillance tools that are able to monitor the traffic of network data that is sent over the Internet at all seven layers of the OSI Reference Model of Internet communication, which includes the surveillance of content data.
The analysis presented in this paper is based on product sheets, self‐descriptions, and product presentations by 20 European security technology companies that produce and sell DPI technologies. For each company, we have conducted a document analysis of the available files. It focused on the four following aspects:
1) Description and use of the Internet surveillance technologies that are produced and sold.
2) The self‐description of the company.
3) The explanation of the relevance of Internet surveillance, i.e. why the company thinks it is important that it produces and sells such technologies.
4) A documentation of what the company says about opportunities and problems that can arise in the context of Internet surveillance.
The assessment of societal implications of DPI is based on opinions of security industry representatives, scholars, and privacy advocates that were voiced in white papers, tech reports, research reports, on web‐ sites, in press releases, and in news media. The results can be summarized in the form of several impact dimensions:
1. Potential advantages of DPI
2. Net neutrality
3. The power of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for undermining users’ trust
4. Potential function creep of DPI surveillance
5. Targeted advertising
6. The surveillance of file sharers
7. Political repression and social discrimination
The conducted analysis of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technologies shows that there is a variety of potential impacts of this technology on society. A general conclusion is that for understanding new surveil‐ lance technologies, we do not only need privacy and data protection assessments, but broader societal and ethical impact assessments.
