Encouraging "encryption" of more protocols is an interesting way to 
discourage this kind of shaping.

Dave Dittrich, on another list yesterday:

They're not the only ones getting ready.  There are at least 5 anonymous
P2P file sharing networks that use RSA or Diffie-Hellman key exchange
to seed AES/Rijndael encryption at up to 256 bits. See:

You can only filter that which you can see, and there are many ways
to make it hard to see what's going over the wire.

Bottom line - "they" can probably deploy the countermeasures faster than
"we" can deploy the shaping....
