[tor-dev] Dynamic Throttling in Tor

2011-09-27 Thread Rob Jansen
Hello, We've been exploring dynamic algorithms for throttling Tor clients. We've come up with three algorithms that are easier to maintain than static throttling (i.e. don't need to be reconfigured often), and produce significant performance benefits for web clients at the expense of bulk cli

[tor-dev] Running Real Tor Code Over Simulated Networks

2011-09-27 Thread Rob Jansen
Hello, For the unaware, we have been working on the design and development of Shadow, a simulator capable of running real binaries over a simulated network, and a plug-in that runs real Tor. Shadow can simulate roughly 1000 Tor nodes in 10 GB of RAM and is easy to setup and use (no root requi
