Does i2p traffic look like normal traffic ?

[AntibodyMama]

Hi, i was wondering if i2p traffic looks like normal traffic ?
And if not, why doesn't it look like normal traffic so it cannot be censored ?

As far as I know, it looks like total random garbage.
Both network transports (NTCP2 and SSU2) are obfuscated at all stages of connection.
It was made that way so that it doesn't look like anything and doesn't have any unique characteristics that it can be blocked by.

You can learn more about these two protocols at http://i2p-projekt.i2p/spec, in that list see "NTCP 2" and "SSU2".

The only way to block it is to block everything that does not look like something.
