In an overlay net, we think of a link as peer to peer. But physically that link is usually as follows: NodeA -> ISP1 router -> GT-1 router ... ... -> ISP2 router -> NodeB Wo when we talk base fill/ linerate/ fulltime chaff link, we should perhaps be clear about which physical links/routes we are referring to - we must consider the physical links as much as the virtual/ overlay links, in order to properly assess security implications.
