Abstract
Systems () and methods () for use in a network node (-). The methods involve: receiving a Data Communication ('DC') from Data Link Layer Software ('DLLS'); identifying an IDentity Parameter (“IDP”) contained in DC which comprises a False Value (“FV”) specifying false information about the node or DC; obtaining a True Value (“TV”) specifying true information about the node or DC; replacing the FV with the TV to generate a modified DC; and forwarding the modified DC to Network Layer Software (“NLS”). The methods also involve: receiving a Data Unit (“DU”) from NLS comprising a Transport Layer Header (“TLH”) and a Network Layer Header (“NLH”) including TVs specifying true information about the node or FDU; obtaining a FV which specifies false information about the node or FDU; replacing a TV of DU with the FV so as to form a Modified Data Unit (“MDU”); and forwarding MDU to DLLS.
