I presume you can back this assertion up with simulation results, at a minimum? I look forward to reading your paper. [snip] > origin.

It is attractive for IRC, for example, because with the current hop counts it can be difficult to keep a TCP connection up for long. Long lived connections don't benefit much from the longer paths in any case because the provide ample opportunity to simply correlate entry and exit traffic and ignore the interior path. *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
