Hi Ian,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the link, and for working on the survey - this was long
overdue. I especially enjoy the mind map (Figure 5) which gives a
quick view of all of the work over the years. The community has been
busy!<br>
<br>
On the incentives front, I believe the survey is missing a few
papers.<br>
<br>
- -"Proof-of-Work as Anonymous Micropayment: Rewarding a Tor Relay"<br>
FC 2015 Short Paper,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/paper_71.pdf">http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/paper_71.pdf</a><br>
- -"Paying the Guard: an Entry-Guard-based Payment System for Tor"<br>
FC 2015 Short Paper,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/paper_112.pdf">http://fc15.ifca.ai/preproceedings/paper_112.pdf</a><br>
- -"From Onions to Shallots: Rewarding Tor Relays with TEARS"<br>
HotPETs 2014,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/tears-hotpets2014.pdf">http://www.robgjansen.com/publications/tears-hotpets2014.pdf</a><br>
- -"Payment for Anonymous Routing"<br>
PETS 2008, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cs.gmu.edu/~astavrou/research/Par_PET_2008.pdf">http://cs.gmu.edu/~astavrou/research/Par_PET_2008.pdf</a><br>
<br>
While the TEARS paper only appeared at HotPETs (so far), I feel like
it should be included because TorCoin is cited and TEARS is more
viable than the TorCoin approach (IMHO) - the reasons for this are
explained in the Tor incentives blog post:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-incentives-research-roundup-goldstar-par-braids-lira-tears-and-torcoin">https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-incentives-research-roundup-goldstar-par-braids-lira-tears-and-torcoin</a><br>
<br>
Also, all of the above, as well as LIRA, are missing from
"Incentives" node of the mind map in Figure 5. I realize that this
isn't necessarily an incentives survey, but most incentive schemes
affect performance and some schemes were included so it may make
sense to include them all. Also, it looks like there is some
whitespace below the "Throttling" node, so they may fit fairly
easily.<br>
<br>
Finally, there is no section on Tor simulators/emulators!? I was
surprised by this, as that is definitely an area of research that
has greatly helped explore performance questions. It would be great
to include a section on it so that researchers reading this survey
and looking to work on performance know which tools they can use to
get started. Shadow, ExperimenTor, SNEAC, and Chutney are the main
tools that immediately come to mind that may be useful in exploring
performance questions.<br>
<br>
Hope this is useful!<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
Rob<br>
