20120082163 | Packet Routing In A Network - Packet routing information is encoded into a non-static compact representation of set membership, the compact representation of set membership being for inclusion into a header of a packet. The compact representation of set membership is computed using input parameters that include at least one packet-specific, flow-specific or processing-context-specific parameter. By making the compact representation of set membership packet-dependent, flow-dependent or processing-context-dependent it becomes harder for, for example, a potential attacker to obtain information needed to mount a DDoS attack. In a variant of the invention, the packet routing information is represented as a plurality of non-static identifiers for inclusion into a header of a packet. | 04-05-2012 |
