Classification: CPC H  G | IPC H

Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, as a result of execution by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to at least:
collect a set of first data packets during a first time period, the set including at least one data packet received from one or more first nodes in the network;
generate a first mapping that assigns the first data packets of the set for relay to one or more neighbouring nodes connected to the node;
compute a decorrelation metric value for the first mapping;
determine whether the decorrelation metric value for the first mapping satisfies a first condition; and
in response to determining that the decorrelation metric value satisfies the first condition, transmit the first data packets of the set to neighbouring nodes according to the first mapping, wherein the first mapping indicates an expected time of relay of each first data packet of the set to neighbouring nodes and wherein generating the first mapping comprises determining at least one of:
a first sub-mapping that assigns any two data packets having a same source for relay to different subsets of the one or more neighbouring nodes; and
a second sub-mapping that assigns different expected times of relay to any two data packets that are generated at the node or received by the node from the one or more first nodes in a same time interval.
