This is the future of censorship-resistant network.
Middleman only happens because every info is dumped inside one series of packets transferred as a single src-dst ip:port connection. Crack one stream and you get all. If we somehow split bytes and bits and shuffled them into multiple ip:port connections, span on multiple ISPs, then middleboxes are rendered useless. Targeting one TCP stream is easy, but correctly select M from N connections is nearly impossible.
