Hi Everyone, Just wanted to throw out some thoughts. Since, from what's been said here, the draft is about keeping connection data and not content wouldn't it be possible to make Tor nodes (servers and clients) make trivial connections to other servers even just something like a syn<->syn,ack<-fin,rst kind of handshake so that the network load isn't much but any logs would be replete with random connections data obfuscating the actual connections (yes I know security through obfuscation isn't optimal). The time between make/break could be randomized to help muddy the waters.
I do realize that this would incur a heavier number of open connections on a server. I'm sure that someway could be found to keep the random connections from overwhelming resources (i.e. connections without active data flow get dropped first if resources get low). anyways just thoughts in the wind.. I'm sure the Tor Devs are probably gnashing teeth and pulling hair as a hundred reasons why it's a bad idea stream through their minds.
