This depends on what all wants to be tested.  Basing it off
ScrambleSuit would pull in a lot of code that's probably unnecessary.
If it were me doing this, I would write a simple transport that has
hooks for adjusting the packet size/inter packet timing.

Assuming a basic familiarity with python (bonus points for Twisted),
this would be about an afternoon worth of code (if that), and from
there real development on different padding strategies could be
researched.
