Comment:
I just finished new Shadow simulations using the large 64 GB network
configuration. See attached two PDFs:
- [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/9166/sjm217
-utp-64GB-seeds-combined.pdf sjm217-utp-64GB-seeds-combined.pdf] compares
two runs with uTP for none of the links to two runs with uTP for all
links. The two runs using the same configuration use different random
seeds (using `scallion` vs. `scallion -s 2`). The motivation for this
experiment was to see if the large 64 GB network configuration shows more
significant performance differences than the small 16 GB network
configuration, and to see if differences are real or random.
Unfortunately, it looks like differences are mostly random.

compares the runs with seed 1 to similar runs that put additional non-Tor
TCP traffic on the Shadow network. Additional TCP traffic is produced by
adding a second instance of Shadow's filetransfer plugin called traffic,
making all clients perform requests to fileservers directly, and removing
all `".*[traffic-.*"` lines from `scallion.log` before making graphs. The
motivation for this experiment was to see if additional network load has
any effect on Tor performance. Looks like this is not the case.
I'd like to do one more experiment: can Shadow somehow output what amount
of traffic uses TCP vs. UDP? I'd like to re-run the simulation in a small
or tiny network with uTP enabled and disabled, to confirm that
enabling/disabling uTP actually worked. Rob, any idea how Shadow could
provide this information?
