ABSTRACT:
An interface receives a packet stream associated with a source and a destination. The packet stream includes multiple packets, each packet including a header and a payload. A system generates a modulated stream for inclusion in the packet stream and performs a low deviation modification to a header field in each of the multiple packets to include the modulated stream in the packet stream. The system then transmits the packet stream including the modulated stream.
