Traffic analysis, in the intelligence community, is a method to determine intentions, and immediacy, of action, even if the signals themselves cannot be decrypted.

  1. Frequent communications can denote planning.
  2. Rapid, short, communication can denote negotitations.
  3. A lack of communication can indicate a lack of activity, or completion of a finalized plan.
  4. Frequent communication to specific individuals can highlight important actors.
