It helps with anti-censorship, not anonymity per se (afaict). The idea is that many hosts have more than one address, and nearly all can listen on multiple ports. Actually using this ability would allow a bridge to actually accept connections at all its addresses (in the first case) and help defeat naive port-blocking approaches (in the second). It's not exactly cutting edge stuff, but every little bit can help here. yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
