I tend to agree that you need link opacity to do serious traffic
analysis prevention, although I believe you could do partial work with
cover traffic and such. However, what we are talking about is now a
very complicated subject for research, not something for this working
group to be doing. I believe you and I are in violent agreement on
this.
