An interesting assumption to consider. Just to pick one current example, JUS[0] presently has a capacity of 1.28 terabits per second. If, for some reason, we were to run it at an even 1tbps, piping all data through a single spiped connection, the security requirement would be broken after just over 4.25 years of continuous operation. 8 streams of uncompressed 4320p@60fps video multiplexed into a single spiped connection would also break that requirement in a bit over twice as much time. These are contrived but possible scenarios with present commercial technology. In 10-20 years, that assumption might not be so safe.
