Are there any projects in Tor being worked in to combat data correlation? For instance, relays the send/recv constant data rates continuously - capping data rates and padding partial or non-packets with random data to maintain the data rates
The very quick answer without providing much detail is that you may want to look at scramblesuit [0][1]. It doesn't try to provide constant throughput, but (as the website says) "we alter inter-arrival times and the transported protocol's packet length distribution". This isn't a perfect solution, and won't impress a GPA, but it's a start if you're dealing with a localized passive observer.
