Hi Matt, If I understand correctly, you ran a simulation where you had x nodes which had the Guard flag and y exit nodes..
Yes. then you ran another simulation where you had (x+y) exit nodes which also had the Guard flag? Is this correct? No. In simulation, there is node which has both Guard and exit flag, so called guard-exit node (EE node). I put (x+y) EE node and ran the simulation. Please refer to the shadow wiki below https://github.com/shadow/shadow/wiki/Using-the-scallion-plug-in Here you can see Guard+Exit relays.
