MIT Creates Tor Alternative That Floods Networks With Fake Data (softpedia.com)

An anonymous reader writes with word that MIT researchers "created an alternative to Tor, a network messaging system called Vuvuzela that pollutes the network with dummy data so the NSA won't know who's talking to who." Initial tests show the systems overhead adding a 44-second delay, but the network can work fine and preserve anonymity even it has more than 50% of servers compromised.

"Even with more than 50%..."

I wonder what % of Tor servers are compromised. I abandoned Tor when I realised it didn't mix in junk traffic like this, as traffic analysis through compromised nodes/routers is such an obvious vulnerability that it seems to render Tor worthless.
