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.
