I've been trying to think of ways to thwart large scale traffic analysis, and in a unicast network it's really not easy without a lot of extra traffic (think TOR).
Well, in a story in MIT Tech Review this week, it's mentioned that IETF is considering baking TOR into the base level of the Internet, so if (like me) you think that's a pretty unmanageable, inefficient approach, you might want to chime in now...
Well, it's inefficient compared to direct unicasting but I can't think of a much better way to do it. And if you really want security against dragnet surveillance, and I think we do, we'll find a way to manage it. Hey, it's not like fiber bandwidth and CPU cycles are hard to find these days.
