IMHO, the GPA a myth in the sense that some attacks attributed to a GPA don't actually require it to be `global'. (Most Internet traffic eventually passes through a few, very specific points, for example.) But the attacks attributed to them are certainly not myths. I think Paul Syverson explained it best above. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
