Roger Dingledine cfd21c58b5 don't lose a patch that mwenge wrote to put different destination
ports on different streams. one day i will make this into a real
proposal, and argue we should put it in.

Title: Separate streams across circuits by destination port
Version: $Revision$
Last-Modified: $Date$
Author: Robert Hogan
Created: 21-Oct-2008
Status: Draft
Here's a patch Robert Hogan wrote to use only one destination port per
circuit. It's based on a wishlist item Roger wrote, to never send AIM
usernames over the same circuit that we're hoping to browse anonymously
through. The remaining open question is: how many extra circuits does this
cause an ordinary user to create? My guess is not very many, but I'm wary
of putting this in until we have some better estimate. On the other hand,
not putting it in means that we have a known security flaw. Hm.
