o Major feature (scheduler, channel):
|
||||
- Introducing the KIST scheduler which stands for Kernel Informed Socket
|
||||
Transport. It is only available on Linux systems. This comes from a
|
||||
researched and published paper you can find here:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/kist-sec2014.pdf
|
||||
https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01044
|
||||
|
||||
This is also a major refactoring of the entire scheduler subsystem in
|
||||
order for it to be more modular and thus much more easier to add more
|
||||
scheduler type later. The current scheduler has been named "Vanilla" but
|
||||
we favor KIST if available in this version.
|
||||
|
||||
A new torrc option has been added and named "Schedulers type1,type2,..."
|
||||
which allows a user to select which scheduler type it wants tor to use.
|
||||
It is also possible to change it at runtime. It is an ordered list by
|
||||
priority. KIST might not be available on all platforms so there is a
|
||||
fallback to "KISTLite" that uses the same mechanisms but without the
|
||||
kernel support.
|
||||
|
||||
The current default values are: Schedulers KIST,KISTLite,Vanilla.
|
||||
|
||||
Closes ticket 12541.
