Is it theoretically possible at all to make low latency anonymity of sufficiently decent quality?
For those able to pay the price of fill traffic, possibly (theoretically). However even in that case, you will need at least some level of trust with your immediate peers (or high level of trust if your immediate peer is singular, only 1, from which you access the rest of the network). Visibly stable fill traffic requires peers that don't collaborate with the NSA - e.g., you can imagine how trivial it might be to put in "bandwidth signals" if you are an untrustworthy peer - just a slight temporary dip at a specific point in time, could be a signal to the NSA. Example peers: - your ISP - your neighbours in say a wireless or wired local mesh net I am not aware of any academic research regarding the benefits and or pitfalls of fill traffic. I2P states fill traffic as one of their "todo" goals, and therefore might be a good network to implement this on for testing and or academic research. Good luck.
