1. A computer-implemented method, performed by a network node in a communication network, for inducing latency in data transmission, the method comprising:
receiving a data message over the communication network;
determining a latency on the data message for further transmission over the communication network, wherein the latency is based on a predetermined fixed value plus a random value, and has an expected value that is the same regardless of a point of entry and a point of delivery of the message;
buffering the data message for an amount of time based on the determined latency; and
at least one of transmitting the data message over the communication network or processing the data message once buffering is complete.
