I heard only of one "rule" (I guess on this list but I'm not sure): - tor would not use nodes within the same /16 network to create a circuit are there more such rules?There currently aren't. Even if all the nodes you run are in the same /16 it is considered polite to set MyFamily though, to make the link of owners explicit.
If it is technically not necessary, because tor would never use certain nodes in one circuit. I would understand people running >20 nodes that do not use 'MyFamily'.
If there are certain rules I would stop asking people to set MyFamily if one of these rules apply in the concrete scenario.
So there are no rules beside the "/16 network" - rule? *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
