  There's also the problem of traffic analysis.

  e.g. Packets to port 1812 are authentication requests.  Packets to
port 1813 are accounting requests.  Small packets from port 1812 are
authentication rejects.  Larger packets from port 1812 are
authentication accepts.


  You can get a LOT of information about what's going on in the
network just by looking at ports and packet sizes.

  So my question is: What purpose would be served by encrypting
packets?  What information do you want to hide from prying eyes?
