For scalability:
- Slightly smarter bandwidth management: use link capacity
intelligently.
- Handle full buffers without totally borking
For 0.0.8:
milestone 2:
misc:
. refer to things by key:
o extend cells need ip:port:identitykeyhash.
o Lookup routers and connections by key digest; accept hex
key digest in place of nicknames.
o Audit all uses of lookup-by-hostname and lookup-by-addr-port
to search by digest when appropriate.
o make sure to use addr/port in cpuworker tasks, because
OPs don't have keys.
o and fix the function comments in rephist
o Rep-hist functions need to store info by keyid
- also use this in intro points and rendezvous points, and
hidserv descs. [XXXX This isn't enough.]
- figure out what to do about ip:port:differentkey
o ORs connect on demand. attach circuits to new connections, keep
create cells around somewhere, send destroy if fail.
o nickname defaults to first piece of hostname
o running-routers list refers to nickname if verified, else
hash-base64'ed.
o Mark routers as verified or unverified based on whether
running-routers list includes nickname or id hash.
o put OR uptime in descriptor
o name the secret-key directory something to discourage people
from mailing their identity key to tor-ops
milestone 3:
- users can set their bandwidth, or we auto-detect it:
- advertised bandwidth defaults to 10KB
o advertised bandwidth is the min of max seen in each direction

post pre1:
- Possible to get autoconf to easily install things into ~/.tor?
o when we sigint tor, the dns/cpuworkers don't intercept sigint?
- "AcceptOnlyVerifiedRouters" config option?
- why does common/util.c build-depend on or/or.h ?
- ORs use uniquer default nicknames
- Tors deal appropriately when a newly-verified router has the
same nickname as another router they know about
X 007 can't extend to unverified 008. they will never be able to.
- if a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP
should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy
reject *:* until we get our next directory.
- make advertised_server_mode() ORs fetch dirs more often.
- should the running-routers list put unverified routers at the
end?
- tor-resolve needs a man page
o tor-resolve should make use of cached answers?
- defining an ORPort isn't necessary anymore, if you use
ORAddress:port. Same with DirPort, SocksPort.
- requiredentrynode vs preferredentrynode
- per-month byte allowances
o if using not-socks4a then warn, once.
o if unverified server then warn, once.
- add a listener for a ui
- and a basic gui
docs:
- faq and doc-wiki
- knoppix distro
- win32 installer using privoxy's installer
o win32 problems with pre1
o asn.1 issues?
bug fixes, necessary:
- Why is the first entry of kill -USR1 a router with a 0 key?
- why does common/util.c build-depend on or/or.h ?
bug fixes, might be handy:
- put expiry date on onion-key, so people don't keep trying
old ones that they could know are expired?
- should the running-routers list put unverified routers at the
end?
- make advertised_server_mode() ORs fetch dirs more often.
- if a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP
should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy
reject *:* until we get our next directory.
- Tors deal appropriately when a newly-verified router has the
same nickname as another router they know about
- ORs use uniquer default nicknames
- Handle full buffers without totally borking
- Add '[...truncated]' or similar to truncated log entries (like the directory
in connection_dir_process_inbuf()).
more features, easy:
- check the date in the http headers, compare for clock skew.
- requiredentrynode vs preferredentrynode
- per-month byte allowances
- tor-resolve needs a man page
- "AllowUnverifiedRouters" config option
- Parse it into a bitvector
- Consider it when picking nodes for your path
- have a pool of circuits available, cannibalize them
for your purposes (e.g. rendezvous, etc).
more features, complex:
- defining an ORPort isn't necessary anymore, if you use
ORAddress:port. Same with DirPort, SocksPort.
- compress the directory. client sends http header
"accept-transfer-encoding: gzip", server might send http header
"transfer-encoding: gzip". ta-da.
- grow a zlib dependency. keep a cached compressed directory.
- Switch dirservers entries to config lines:
- read in and parse each TrustedDir config line.
- stop reading dirservers file.
