ABSTRACT:
The integrity of a data stream transmitted over a network is protected by adjusting the sequence number, the port number, or another field of a data packet field, for a number of data packets so that the data packets will be considered either valid or invalid by a downstream receiving device. Data packets that have such a field adjusted can be thought of as being rotated outside of a valid range or window, as defined for a network connection. This field of a rotated data packet can be further adjusted, through de-rotation or re-rotation, for various applications. Downstream devices can thus respond to the data packets depending on the state of the rotation.
