1. A secure communication system enabling secure transport of information comprising:
a secure network comprising one or more packet processing units (PPUs),
wherein each PPU comprises one or more processors and a memory,
a visa service issuing a plurality of visas, wherein said visa service is hosted on one or more servers, each of said plurality of visas associated with a compliant flow of said information from a first agent to a second agent through said secure network,
a plurality of internal packets, comprising a first type of internal packets configured to transport said information, wherein one of said plurality of visas is associated with a first internal packet of said first type of internal packets upon a dock at which said first agent connects to said secure network converting a packet received from said first agent to said first internal packet, said first internal packet comprising a packet type field indicating the first type of internal packets,
wherein a PPU among said one or more PPUs transmits an internal packet among said plurality of internal packets only if allowed by a visa associated with said internal packet.
