hi Roger, this looks like an interesting talk; i wish i could have seen it in person. some comments... > "Theory: Tor is slow because a handful of people are running filesharing > apps on it" is there any research / observations to support this claim? i'm curious. (i think Tor will always be "slow" compared to direct traffic. this is a feature, not a bug, and exists independent of any particular transport protocols...) > "Vidalia should learn how to talk UPNP to routers" i wish i could add a prerequisite before this item: "Implement datagram based transport" :) commodity routers even now have problems with NAPT table entries for busy Tor / other network apps. a UDP transport would open up effective new NAT busting abilities and bypass some of the windows / weak router NAT table conn tracking issues that make scaling the existing TCP implementation difficult. i know the DTLS proposal hasn't seen any attention lately. is this potentially going to resume sometime, or is an entirely new proposal needed? (the UDP section mentions more research / hacking, maybe even both? :) best regards,
