It helps with anti-censorship, not anonymity per se (afaict).  The
idea is that many hosts have more than one address, and nearly all can
listen on multiple ports.  Actually using this ability would allow a
bridge to actually accept connections at all its addresses (in the
first case) and help defeat naive port-blocking approaches (in the
second).

It's not exactly cutting edge stuff, but every little bit can help here.

Yes, the ISP traffic shaped me into 300KB/s.  But Tor dutifully fills
that up.  It's a non-exit relay named "hugs", fingerprint is
E5CE54C14A41D829B6EBA77724EA27D88337E211.

Hi,

I've been skimming over the gsoc ideas.

How exactly does this improve anonymity?
