For those of you who are not subscribed to or-announce and/or have friends who use Tor, the latest Tor stable should provide significant performance/capacity increase once most clients upgrade. According to my measurements with TorFlow, there should be roughly four times as much capacity once the network rebalances. In addition, many users should experience noticable improvement in performance just based on the fact that we are choosing guards in proportion to their bandwidth and expiring guards that were selected with the buggy uniform algorithm. Also, once the network is balanced, we can begin to investigate both reliability scanning options and Johannes Renner can finish his Master's Thesis on performance enhanced path selection. :) http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2007/msg00001.html -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs
