Summary:
Future cyberattacks may infect routers with malware. If these routers are exchanged periodically with initialized ones, even undetectable malware can be removed. However, these routers may infect the same-type malware again. To solve this problem, we have proposed a repetitive exchanging scheme between heterogeneous-type routers. This paper evaluates this exchanging scheme through four experiments. The summaries of the results are as follows. (1) Even heterogeneous routers can be exchanged in a hitless manner by using VRRP. (2) A centralized priority controller can control heterogeneous routers by means of the dynamical attachment of their command interpreters. (3) Router-priority control achieves repetitive router exchanging without packet forwarding interruption. (4) Heterogeneous router exchange can suppress a repetitive malware infection. According to these results, it is expected that the router metabolism utilizing heterogeneous routers can mitigate malware infection damage.
