The problem with Plan D, if implemented over the current Internet, is that the low levels of the internet are a tree rather than a proper network. There are choke points and listening points at which all of a particular person's traffic can be guaranteed to be intercepted.
That is true of the typical home connection. It certainly is not true of many of the networks I have access to.

In general that is hard, even though it is easily doable for lots of packets and lots of true names. --digsig James A.
