I'm looking at orbot and seeing it has "circuit padding" now. I don't know whether this meets the requirements of chaff, and would like to know.

according to their docs that padding is supposedly a defense against 'netflow' based analysis. I think 'netflow' is the name of the packet counting system on routers or something like that. there is no reason to believe that such padding achieves much.
