Abstract
A networked device creates a plurality of concurrent communication channels within a VPN tunnel between two networks, each channel being identifiable only by a set of IP addresses that are anonymized from the actual IP address of the communication endpoints. Traffic sent from the first network to the second may take any of a plurality of channels, with a randomized channel assignment on a per packet basis. By these means, the endpoints of communication are obfuscated. Further, transmitted data is spread apart or scattered across multiple channels, therefore, an eavesdropper would not have access to the entirety of a data communication.
