Claim 15:
16. A system for obfuscating network mapping of an avionic network of an aircraft, comprising:
a first container including a first network map identifying network addresses for network components of at least a first portion of the avionic network;
a second container including a second network map identifying network addresses for network components of at least a second portion of the avionic network, the second network map being different from the first network map;
a switching device configured to interpose the first container between an avionics bus of the avionic network and an external-access node, and in response to at least a first criterion, replacing the first container with the second container interposed between the avionics bus and the external-access node for changing the network map accessible to the external-access node from the first network map to the second network map;
wherein:
each of the first and second containers are software packages comprised of an application, configurations, and dependencies;
each of the first and second containers form isolated user space instances; and
the isolated user space instances are unable to access a host operating system.
