Topology Hiding

SKIP supports topology hiding through the use of a tunnel address. The tunnel address field contains the IP address of the host that serves as the intermediary between any or all hosts or systems on a network whose topology is to remain hidden from the rest of the world. The source host is not hidden; only the destination address can be hidden (that is, replaced with a tunnel address that the user specified). To hide the topology, the remote system must be configured using Tunnel Mode and the same router must be used for the tunnel destination as the original destination.
