<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">There have been some technical reports about how to deal with the problem when a botnet uses Tor as its primary C&C channel. In this case, the CPU of some relays is exhausted, causing
circuit creation failure.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I am wondering currently how a client reacts when its circuit creation fails? Does the client simply resends create cells to the relays on the original path or it will re-select a new
path instead? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Thanks</span></div>
