Classification: CPC H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method including:
configuring a first networking fabric device to at least perform a first set of roles associated with a first layer of a communication stack, and to communicate with a second networking fabric device operating as part of the communication stack according to the first set of roles, wherein the first networking fabric device is configured to interact with a networking fabric for facilitating communication between an application and a remote device, the first networking fabric device including a network interface communicatively coupled with other networking fabric devices within a networking fabric;
reconfiguring the first networking fabric device to at least perform a second set of roles associated with a second, different layer of the communication stack, and to at least communicate with a third networking fabric device operating as part of the communication stack according to the second set of roles, wherein reconfiguring the first networking fabric device includes reconfiguring the first networking fabric device as a first interface module of the application which responds to at least a first portion of a network address of the application by updating incoming packets to transmit to the application through a first set of nodes within the networking fabric via the network interface in a manner where the first interface module is transparent to the remote device; and
at least one of configuring the first interface module of the application to spoof all of the network address of the application with respect to the remote device or to cloak an actual location of the application in a manner where the remote device cannot perceive the actual location of the application.
