Trickle connections are an interesting idea and will work for some
applications where high latency and possibly low throughput are okay.
I look forward to reading that paper.

Though re: traffic analysis, if your traffic stands out too much (i.e.

issues[0]. And the devil's in the details, as Tom Ritter's fine work
around AAM[1] has shown.
