[tor-dev] Optimising Tor node selection probabilities

2014-10-10 Thread Steven Murdoch
I’ve just published a new paper on selecting the node selection probabilities (consensus weights) in Tor. It takes a queuing-theory approach and shows that what Tor used to do (distributing traffic to nodes in proportion to their contribution to network capacity) is not the best approach. Count
