May I just add something:

Problem A - we don't want anybody to know physically where any of the
nodes are, but we want the link-layer to self-optimise.

JonSay:  Forget it!  Don't try to solve this problem, its too hard!
Instead:


Problem B - even though the nodes use physical location, GPS etc, to
manage link-layer optimisation, we want it to be impossible to _prove_
that a given node is the site of an actionable (eg. unlawful) data item.

JonSay:  Yes!  But its a higher level problem.


In other words, I say - just make the link layer as fast as we can.
Approach B is for when we get to the stage of worrying about what we are
transmitting.
