Nodes usually have a max bandwitch set.
Nodes often comsume less than this.
All node to node traffic is encrypted.
Perhaps implement a random stream generator
that only runs when it or its chosen path has
free bandwidth, tags its traffic as chaff, pipes
it through some number of nodes, or if it has
idle neighbors, and ultimtely sink it somewhere.
It would be even harder to follow an actual client
dl/ul stream if things were maybe udp with the stream reassembly
info inside each onion wrapped cell. Or something
like that. No doubt this is old ideas.
