Abstract
A system and method of deploying a network hopping adaptor is disclosed. In some embodiments, a network hopping adaptor may be configured to manipulate network traffic so as to change at least one network characteristic of the network traffic, and at least one network interface of a machine selected from a group of machines may be configured to send the network traffic to the network hopping adaptor. The network hopping adaptor may manipulate such characteristics as an IP address, a port number, an encryption algorithm or a compression algorithm. The group of machines may be deployed as virtual machines being executed by a virtualization server, and the network hopping adaptor may be implemented on another virtual machine being executed by the virtualization server. Alternatively, or in addition, the group of machines or the network hopping adaptor may be implemented as physical machines.
