Hello, here is the December 2014 report for SponsorR:
- In the beginning of December we revised the hidden service statistics proposal [0]. We also implemented the statistics in tor and after asking for review and feedback from the community we got the code merged upstream. The code has since been released as tor-0.2.6.2-alpha. We then asked volunteers to run our code on their relays. In just a few days we had over 70 relays submitting hidden service statistics which gave us a data set that could be analyzed. Finally, we started the analysis of the data by writing a document [1] that details our findings and tries to extrapolate from our limited dataset to the whole Tor network. - We revised the tech report that enumerates the various hidden service statistics [2]. It's currently still a draft and will likely be improved further in the following months. - Aaron Johnson started a [tor-dev] thread [3] with some ideas on protocols that allow better and more accurate statistics collection while preserving the privacy of hidden services. - David Goulet wrote a post [4] on his technique for benchmarking the performance of hidden services. The post includes some interesting graphs on the performance of hidden service circuit establishment [5]. - Started work on combining the Shadow simulator with tracing, to measure hidden service performance on simulated networks.
