Abstract
A communication session may be broken up into many smaller packet bundles over many tunnels and over different routes in order to obfuscate the entire data stream. Apparatuses may dynamically build hop-by-hop tunnels in a backbone telecommunications network, segment data into packet bundles at the customer edge, or break up data traffic of a communication session along multiple routing or switching paths in order to obfuscate the data traffic of the communication session.
