Hi, I don't want to be a party-pooper, but installing just another big node (like blutmagie) would still mean * relatively (still very low) redundancy * strong agglomeration of traffic on only a few nodes (thus leading to) * relatively simple eavesdropping of exit traffic When speaking in terms of bandwidth, e.g. 150Mbps, then I'd rather spread it across n machines with 150Mbps/n each. Just a thought. > Cheers, > David Timo *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
