Dear Tor community, I came across a post on the Whonix forum recently. Since I am also interested in this question I copied it here: https://forums.whonix.org/t/math-behind-honest-tor-nodes/12464 http://forums.dds6qkxpwdeubwucdiaord2xgbbeyds25rbsgr73tbfpqpt4a6vjwsyd.onion/t/math-behind-honest-tor-nodes/12464 The question (edited): How can I calculate how much impact X honest Tor relays have? Is it better to calculate with bandwidth consumed (250Gbps), despite the number of relays (~7000)? Basically, I want to get the mathematical equation to this statement: I run X Tor relays at Y Mb/s each and by doing so I secure Z % of the Tor network! Starting thoughts: - Each “normal” route has three nodes involved: Guard, Middle, Exit - I am aware of guard pinning and vanguard protection for middle relay pinning - Maybe it is easier to assume an infinite usage time of the network to eliminate guard and vanguard pinning - I guess the best is to assume a scenario with 1%, 5%, 10%, etc. dishonest relays I would love to hear your thoughts about it and a concrete math equation would be amazing.
