ab: Summary: Network covert channels can build cooperating environments within
    overlay networks. Peers in such an overlay network can initiate
    connections with new peers and can build up new paths within the
    overlay network. To communicate with new peers, it is required to
    determine protocols which can be used between the peers ‒ this
    process is called the “Network Environment Learning Phase” (NEL
    Phase). We show that the NEL phase itself as well as two similar
    approaches are affected by traffic normalization, which leads to a
    two-army problem. Solutions to overcome this not completely solvable
    problem are presented and analyzed. A proof of concept code was
    implemented to verify the approach.
