I don't think traffic analysis is in the treat model for TLS proper. If we wanted to circumvent traffic analysis we'd have to introduce noise and randomness (Pond does a good job there using Tor and other mechanisms). I don't see how we can engineer a low-latency (now even 0-RTT) network security protocol that will do that in a performant manner. When time comes and people have 10-40-100GE at home, maybe. Infiniband would be nice. But that will still leave out use for 3rd world countries (which still run on XP anyway). This is a technical list and we should keep politics and FUD aside as best as possible. Greetings from a very empty Sinai peninsula, (A)aron
