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, comprising;
detecting electromagnetic waves received from a second waveguide system via a dielectric coupler at a physical interface of a transmission medium of a first waveguide system, wherein the electromagnetic waves are guided by the transmission medium without requiring an electrical return path, the electromagnetic waves at least partially surrounding an outer surface of the transmission medium, wherein the electromagnetic waves have a non-optical frequency range, wherein the electromagnetic waves contain first data, second data, and a tag portion, wherein the first and second data are directed to a recipient device, and wherein the tag portion is generated by the second waveguide system and is associated with the first and second data by the second waveguide system;
determining a first network path for the first data based on the tag portion; and
determining a second network path for the second data based on the tag portion.

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.
