#21205: Instrument clients to measure directory usage --------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: nickm | Owner: Type: project | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.1.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: sponsor4 | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: parent Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by ahf):
* cc: ahf (added) Comment: Additional possible scenarios for client usage after a discussion in `#tor-dev`: - Client turns on, fetches an HTTP website, idles for N minutes, then shuts down for M minutes, then starts again. - Add systematic "noise" to some of the already listed tests: For example: client is completely unused, but have a flaky network connection. - For the IRC test (long-lasting connection): add occasional retries and some bursty behaviour. Roger additionally suggested using `tgen`, from Shadow, to generate realistic-looking network traffic, but since this is about directory connectivity performance enhancements, we decided to not look at it for now. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21205#comment:1> 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
