Router for communicating data in a dynamic computer network

摘要

A router and methods for its use are disclosed. The router includes input and output circuitry for receiving and routing data packets to computing devices connected to the network. The router also includes a memory configured to store a number of tables relating the destinations of particular packets with routes for the packets to follow. The router is capable of correctly routing data packets which specify false identity parameters. The router is also capable of dynamically varying routing protocols used to route data packets. The router is also capable of routing data packets to one of a number of output ports based on a comparison of at least one of the identity parameters that specifies false information to a table stored in the router's memory.

主权项

1. A router in a dynamic computer network, comprising:
input circuitry connected to at least one input port configured to receive data communication; output circuitry connected to a plurality of output ports configured to transmit data communication; a memory for storing at least one table; and at least one processing unit
determining whether said router is currently an active location where manipulation of identity parameters should occur based on a first pseudorandom process;if it is determined that said router is currently an active location where manipulation of identity parameters should occur, performing the following operations:
receive a data communication that includes a plurality of identity parameters associated with a source computing device and a destination computing device, wherein a set of said plurality of identity parameters specify false information;modify said set by changing in accordance with a second pseudorandom process a selection of said identity parameters that are included in said set having false information;select a correct route for said data communication in accordance with at least one true information corresponding to at least one of said plurality of identity parameters specifying false information, said true information different as compared to said false information; androute said data communication which has been modified to one of said plurality of output ports corresponding to said correct route.
