Abstract:
A method of obfuscating a source of a multicast packet is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of multicast packets at a first device from one or more second devices, the multicast packets received over one or more network links. A source internet protocol (IP) address of each multicast packet of the plurality of multicast packets is an IP address of the one or more second devices that sent the multicast packet. The source IP address of each of the plurality of multicast packets is changed to an IP address other than an IP address of the first device or an IP address of the one or more second devices. The plurality of multicast packets can then be sent.
