possible security hole(unsure)(really minor)




Its possible that a client picks two servers that don't currently have a connection or have a connection with no other traffic between them to form a hop. This results in complete lossage as only one client is sending data through the connection, eliminating the security of that hop against timing attacks. Do I have this wrong or is this a real issue?
