Requiring that data transporters discern meaning to the noise they’re transporting is like demanding that cake manufacturers determine what universe each purchaser of a fairy cake could extrapolate.

A wily data transporter would provide all easily detectable VoIP transmissions, and generate digital noise for the expected proportion of VoIP traffic that is conducted via obscure means.

If your task is impossible, then checking you have carried out your task may also be impossible.

Moreover, if you suspect your client just likes to see big disk farms and can’t actually receive a fraction of the data let alone process it, then simply record 1% for authenticity and generate the remainder on demand and use the disk farms for something else.

Must be some Sisyphean law going here?

If you ask for the impossible you may well receive the impossible.
