Hi everyone: I'm new to Tor dev community and my name is Xiaofan Li, currently a senior at Carnegie Mellon University studying ECE and CS. My friend Kevin Ku and I are taking a graduate class <http://www.cs.cmu.edu/%7Esrini/15-744/S16/> on computer networks and we decided to examine the possibilities of substituting TCP with the Google QUIC protocol for Tor in order to improve performance.
We are emailing you because: 1. We want to get some points of contact with the Tor community in case of future integration and/or testing. 2. We want to know if *anyone else* has done (or is doing) Tor with QUIC. If so, what their status is; and if not, why not? 3. We want to get *your opinions* on this idea. Attached is our (very) preliminary plan and goals for the project. Any feedback is welcomed. 4. Any *implementation recommendations*. My plan is to find a clean layer of abstraction where I can substitute TCP with QUIC. Any ideas? On a first look, I'm thinking about either *or/channel.c* or *or/transports.c * 5. Any *testing suggestions*? How do Tor engineers test new stuff? Please take a look at our outline attached below. Thank you! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Li.
