Nick's initial priorities for Tor 0.2.2:
NOTE 1: I'm not looking at fiddly little stuff from TODO.021 yet. We
can do a step where we triage the nice-to-have issues.
NOTE 2: It's easy to list stuff like this with no time estimates and
no target dates. I think we should pick a target date for
0.2.2, figure out how long the stuff we want will take, and
triage accordingly, or vice versa.
- Design
- Begin design work for UDP transition; identify areas where we need to
make changes or instrument stuff early.
- Performance, mostly protocol-neutral.
- Work with Libevent 2.0's bufferevent interface
- Identify any performance stuff we need to push back into
libevent to make it as fast as we want.
- Revise how we do bandwidth limiting and round-robining between
circuits on a connection.
- Revise how we do bandwidth limiting and round-robining between
connections.
- Better flow-control to avoid filling buffers on routers.
- Split AES across cores if possible.
- Split SSL across cores (reach; may require Libevent 2.1).
- Figure out good ways to instrument Tor internals so we can tell
how well our bandwidth and flow-control stuff is actually working.
- Features
- Proposals to implement:
- 146: reflect long-term stability
- 147: Stop using v2 directories to generate v3 votes.
- Proposals to improve and implement
- 158: microdescriptors
- Proposals to improve and implement if not broken
- IPv6 support. (Parts of 117, but figure out how to handle DNS
requests.)
- 140: Directory diffs
- 149: learn info from netinfo cells.
- 134: handle authority fragmentation (Needs more analysis)
- Deprecations
- Make .exit safe, or make it off-by-default.
