#13790: Refactor and add comments to new_route_len() -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: dgoulet | Owner: | catalyst Type: enhancement | Status: | accepted Priority: Low | Milestone: Tor: | unspecified Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: 026-deferrable, | Actual Points: tor-03-unspecified-201612 | Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: -------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Comment (by catalyst): Which is worse: a path that should be 4 hops becoming 3 hops, or a path that should be 3 hops becoming 4 hops? I would think the first is worse because it could compromise anonymity, while the second wastes resources, increases latency, and decreases reliability. Does that sound right? Or does using a longer path than is necessary introduce some security risk that I'm missing? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/13790#comment:11> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
