To achieve traffic analysis resistance against global network adversaries, the NYM mixnet generates cover traffic in the form of loop messages. The traffic loops strengthen anonymity and measure sender and receiver unobservability.

This method of masking traffic is from the Loopix Anonymity System where NYM's @aniampiotrowska contributed in the design. You can watch her in depth explanation here: youtube.com/watch?v=R-yEqL…

In order to be anonymous when using a mixnet, you must be indistinguishable amongst a group of users; the larger the group, the better the privacy.
