Problem is, PipeNet also refers to a specific protocol design (it's
published at http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/pipenet.txt). I suggest using
"pipenet" with lower-case letters to denote the class of protocols that
use data-independent traffic to achieve untraceability, and "PipeNet" to
denote Wei Dai's protocol.
Freedom cannot currently be considered a pipenet because the traffic
padding functionality has not been turned on yet.
