<p>I hope MPTCP would be more popular<p>Many src-dst connections but as a single logical connection. There's no way any middlebox could easy capture full data even metadata.<p>http2/QUIC can do something similar with frames (and hopefully multipath)<p>Don't place your whole stream inside a single src-dst IP connection. Demux them into many paths over the Internet. We need more variety of "traffic shapes" to combat Internet surveillance.<p>I'd argue it's even more effective than encryption. Split your activity and mix them, monitor traffic over a single transport is useless.</p>
