</div>Yes, but exit nodes already no where your traffic is going (and on which port), middle and entrance nodes do not.</blockquote><div><br>You probably mean "exit nodes already know"? Yes, they are and middles not. Same as for ExitPolicy.<br>
<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> If they did, it would defeat the purpose of tor I believe.</blockquote><div><br>
Of course, middle nodes have no idea about data they are transporting.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Anonymity of requests is not limited to decoupling the destination IP from the user, but also to decoupling the type of traffic (i.e port) to the user, don't you think?<br>
</blockquote></div><br>There isnt any relation between "type of traffic" (port) and user. Exit node dont know this relation - and it is purpose of Tor. But exit nodes know target IP/port (it is used in ExitPolicy construct) and I think it can be handful to support also prioritization. With same reason as ExitPolicy. It is technically possible and I donst see any security issue with that.<br>
