Switch for communicating data in a dynamic computer network

A switch for forwarding data in a dynamic computer network comprising:

• a plurality of ports configured to receive and transmit data packets that include a plurality of identity parameters;
• a memory configured to store a mission plan that specifies a pseudorandom function and a seed value and at least one table, populated based on said mission plan, relating said plurality of ports with a plurality of physical addresses of devices connected to said switch;
• at least one processing unit configured to:
• identify a received data packet as one of dynamic and static, wherein a dynamic data packet includes a first set of said identity parameters that have been modified to specify false identity parameters based on said mission plan, and wherein a static data packet includes identity parameters that exclusively specify true identity parameters;
• select an output port from said plurality of ports to forward said data packet through using at least one false identity parameter of said set by referencing said table;
• and
• forward said data packet through said output port.
