Research on end hopping for active network confrontation by SHI Le-yi1, 2, JIA Chun-fu2

“…Motivated by frequency hopping for military communication, end hopping tactic was proposed which can mitigate those threats such as DoS and eavesdrop greatly by changing the end information of port, address, timeslot, cryptographic algorithm or even protocol pseudo-randomly during end to end transmission. An active defense model has been established upon end hopping. …”
