Which means it is an inept implementation. Encryption should be done at
presentation level, after normalization and compression.

If you want to avoid listeners at network or data link layers to analyse 
your traffic patterns you could make sure that you connect over several
networks and hope your receiver dos so as well, and will consolidate the
messages.

For more info on layered communications, see A. S. Tanenbaum,
