Hello,<br /><br />Do middle nodes create multiple connections to the same Exit node? (with different source port)<br /><br />The reason I ask is because I am a little confused. Even the tor relay operators are completely honest and don't log anything, the ISP / upstream ISP could still log all the connections. <br /><br />So they can see: [MiddleNode IP]:[Source Port] ==> [ExitNode IP]:[Dest Port (ORport)] -- Timestamp + Duration of connection.<br /><br />So if I create a long running ssh connection that is going for 6 hours this will be unique to the middle node.<br /><br />During this 6 hours, if another tor client chooses the same MiddleNode + ExitNode, does the MiddleNode create a new connection to the ExitNode? (Can be found out using netstat)<br /><br />Or does it use the same connection that it already has established with the exit node? <br /><br />Thanks.<br /> </body>
