AFAIK Optimizations that reduce round trips, including that one, are very
desirable for websites accessed over Tor. The communication with a website
uses TCP, SSL, and HTTP as normal, TCP acks, etc are still needed and
transported over SOCKS. So optimizations there will reduce time to first
byte fo
As some people said, another aspect of this project is increasing the
'availability' of hidden services.
That is, increasing the number of nodes of a Hidden Service so that even
if one is down, the rest can still handle clients. This is not something
that application-layer solutions like HAProxy c

Tor uses TLS only for node-to-node transport encryption. Any
improvements to Tor's TLS behaviour would therefore only result in

Hi,
i've been reading the article "Optimizing NGIX TLS time for first byte"
below:
http://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte
I've been thinking whenever that kind of optimization does apply also to
Tor or not?
