Good news: Clique peers do not broadcast message traffic (although they do broadcast announcements about the keys they have available). It's actually not feasible to broadcast, because the peers negotiate their own connection speeds. A high-bandwidth peer would have a lot of work to do force-feeding traffic to everybody and keeping track of it. A message goes directly to the (most recent) IP address where its key has been observed
Maybe I did not find it, but is there a spec/description how it works exactly (something else than the man pages)? If I understand correctly, every peer broadcast its keys to everybody, then I (IP1) find out that IP2 has my keys and I send the traffic messages directly to IP2, since everybody is connected to everybody and discussing with everybody this is difficult to trace, correct? But we might detect that IP1 is discussing with IP2 for real, even if you mention that clique is not about anonymity maybe it can be made more difficult.
Asking this because I am wondering if the Peersm concepts could apply to bittorrent itself (see [1], without strict anonymity and encryption), or why not clique, ie those that are registering in the DHT (or peer discovery system) are not the one that have what they pretend to have (ie the keys in your case) but know someone that might have it or someone that might know someone else has it, therefore the requests will go throught different peers and it probably makes difficult at a certain point of time to determine who has requested/sent what and whom is serving/answering it, one drawback might be that you offload the risk on those that are relaying (uncounsciously) the messages which maybe is not an issue if the method is notorious.
