Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems, methods, media, and means for hiding network topology are provided. In some embodiments, methods for hiding network topology are provided, the methods including: receiving a message including topology information from a sender; removing at least part of the topology information; associating the removed topology information with an identifier; saving the topology information; sending the message to a receiver; receiving a response from the receiver; retrieving the removed topology information based on the identifier; inserting the removed topology information into the response; and sending the response to the sender.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, at an intermediate, a message including topology information from a sender in an internal network, the topology information identifying in the internal network at least two network devices between the sender and the intermediate that the message traveled through, wherein the identification of the at least two network devices defines at least part of a network topology of the internal network, the message addressed to a receive…
