Method and apparatus for providing security using network traffic adjustments
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising;
generating a data tag associated with first data and second data, wherein the first data and the second data are directed to a recipient device; and
providing a signal including the first data, the second data and the data tag to a network device that causes the network device to transmit the first data via a first network path according to the data tag and that causes the network device to transmit the second data via a second network path according to the data tag, wherein the first network path comprises a first waveguide system that facilitates first electromagnetic waves propagating along a transmission medium, wherein the first electromagnetic waves propagate along the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, and wherein the first electromagnetic waves convey the first data.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, generating first traffic for transmitting along a network path toward a recipient device, determining a schedule for transmitting the first traffic, and facilitating transmission of the first traffic along the network path using a first waveguide system. The first waveguide system has a dielectric coupler, and operates by communicating electromagnetic waves via the dielectric coupler at a physical interface of a transmission medium that propagate without utilizing an electrical return path. The electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium, wherein the electromagnetic waves at least partially surround an outer surface of the transmission medium, and wherein the electromagnetic waves have a non-optical frequency range. Other embodiments are disclosed.
