Comment (by robgjansen):
The throttling techniques in these patches attempt to distinguish
persistent bulk flows from bursty flows using approaches based on
unsupervised learning. I would want additional analysis before
recommending these get deployed as-is.
We could consider providing a torrc option where clients could opt-in and
announce to relays that they want to be throttled, labeling their circuits
as worse-priority circuits. Guards could then throttled those clients to
reduce the load that those worse-priority circuits impose on the network.
This would remove the unsupervised learning parts and greatly simplify the
algorithms. Not sure who would opt-in though...
