[tor-bugs] #9324 [Vidalia]: Recommend node type based on internet speed
#9324: Recommend node type based on internet speed
-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------

-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
When setting up Vidalia to act as a node, my experience has been that
people aren't always sure whether to be a bridge or a middle relay.
Unfortunately, they *also* aren't always sure what their internet speed
is. Detecting speed and then making a recommendation (or making a default
selection based on speed), could improve network performance and usability
without the decreases in anonymity posed by Snader (2008).
(This could be perhaps considered a corollary to #9323, where contributor
uncertainty could be solved with semi-dynamic node type selection).
