[tor-dev] Prop259 simulator and results

2016-02-17 Thread George Kadianakis
Hello there, I'm not sure what kind of statistics we get out of the current guard simulator. In general, we are interested in security and performance. For security we are trying to minimize our exposure to network. For performance, we want to minimize our downtime when our current guard becomes
