Comment (by arma):
Replying to [comment:81 cypherpunks]:
> FWIW, Firefox can open more than 100 connections at once, so it is a
relatively small threshold.
Whoever wrote this is quite confused. When Firefox makes 100 stream
requests to the Tor client, the Tor client then bundles them over a single
TLS connection to its guard. So that's one connection from Tor, no matter
how many connections there are from Firefox.
This is part of why we avoid the word "connection" in most of our
terminology, because it's so easy to misunderstand which layer of
connection people are talking about.
