#29370: Measure mode with arbitrary tgen traffic models ---------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: irl | Owner: metrics-team Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: Metrics/Onionperf | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: metrics-team-roadmap-2020 | Actual Points: 0.1 Parent ID: #33321 | Points: 1 Reviewer: | Sponsor: Sponsor59 ---------------------------------------+------------------------------
Comment (by acute): > If researchers need to change parts of a model that cannot be configured using the OnionPerf command line interface, they will have to change the OnionPerf sources to do what they want. I'd say that that's still easier than editing a TGen XML file. If the missing piece is better documentation, we should provide that. That is exactly what I had in mind for doing this. > > My suggestions are that we: > - make the current bulk transfer model more configurable by adding parameters like initial pause, transfer count, or filesize as part of #33432; > - develop a ping model as internal model where OnionPerf generates TGen files, plus analysis and visualization code, as part of #30798, assuming there's need for developing such a model; and > - remove the `-m/--traffic-model` parameter from the codebase and close this ticket as something we considered carefully but decided against. This all sounds good, but I'd add to this writing some documentation as proposed above. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29370#comment:13> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
