I had a conversation with someone at the recent tor meeting about rate-limiting Tor traffic. There are all sorts of drawbacks (blocking popular sites, for example), but I wonder if there are rate-limiting settings that would eliminate the majority of abuse reports based on default fail2ban and similar reporting system settings. For example, I wonder if the complaints I receive about SSH could be eliminated by slowing down repeated SSH connections to the same host by a second or so. Clearly more research is needed to work out if this is even feasible, and, if it is, what rate limits should apply to what ports.
