Hi all,
It has been mentioned in papers and documents that imbalance in router load distribution is one of the factors contributing to delay in receiving responses in Tor and that the reason for this imbalance is due to the router selection algorithm that is biased towards nodes that advertise high bandwidth availability. Does anyone know if there has been a detailed study of measuring what fraction of routers are overloaded in Tor and why they are overloaded?
Any pointers would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
