[tor-dev] Tor path selection upon failure



Hi Folks,

There have been some technical reports about how to deal with the problem when a botnet uses Tor as its primary C&C channel. In this case, the CPU of some relays is exhausted, causing circuit creation failure.

I am wondering currently how a client reacts when its circuit creation fails? Does the client simply resends create cells to the relays on the original path or it will re-select a new path instead? 

Thanks
