In some embodiments, a method includes sending a first data unit, received from a source device, to a destination device via a first data unit path. The first data unit path includes (1) a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine that are included in a first network, and (2) a third virtual machine that is included in a second network. Furthermore, the first data unit path includes the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a first order. The method includes sending a second data unit, received from the source device, to the destination device via a second data unit path from the source device to the destination device. The second data unit path includes each of the first virtual machine, the second virtual machine, and the third virtual machine in a second order different from the first order.
