In particular, we focus on the token bucket algorithm in Tor and + point out that current usage unnecessarily locks cells for long time spans. + We propose a non-intrusive change in Tor's design which overcomes the + deficiencies. + +Motivation and Background: + + Cell statistics from the Tor network [1] reveal that cells reside in + individual onion routers' cell queues for up to several seconds. These + queuing times increase the end-to-end delay very significantly and are + apparently the largest contributor to overall cell latency in Tor. + + In Tor there exist multiple token buckets on different logical levels. They + all work independently. They are used to limit the up- and downstream of an + onion router. All token buckets are refilled every second with a constant + amount of tokens that depends on the configured bandwidth limits. For + example, the so-called RelayedTokenBucket limits relay traffic only. All + read data of incoming connections are bound to a dedicated read token + bucket. An analogous mechanism exists for written data leaving the onion + router. We were able to identify the specific usage and implementation of + the token bucket algorithm as one cause for very high (and unnecessary) + queuing times in an onion router. + + We observe that the token buckets in Tor are (surprisingly at a first + glance) allowed to take on negative fill levels. This is justified by the + TLS connections between onion routers where whole TLS records need to be + processed. The token bucket on the incoming side (i.e., the one which + determines at which rate it is allowed to read from incoming TCP + connections) in particular often runs into non-negligible negative fill + levels. As a consequence of this behavior, sometimes slightly more data is + read than it would be admissible upon strict interpretation of the token + bucket concept. + + However, the token bucket for limiting the outgoing rate does not take on + negative fill levels equally often. Consequently, it regularly happens + that somewhat more data are read on the incoming side than the outgoing + token bucket allows to be written during the same cycle, even if their + configured data rates are the same. The respective cells will thus not be + allowed to leave the onion router immediately. They will thus necessarily + be queued for at least as long as it takes until the token bucket on the + outgoing side is refilled again. The refill interval currently is, as + mentioned before, one second -- so, these cells are delayed for a very + substantial time. In summary, one could say that the two buckets, on the + incoming and outgoing side, work like a double door system and frequently + lock cells for a full token bucket refill interval length. + +General Design: + + In order to overcome the described problem, we propose the following + changes related to the token bucket algorithm. + + We observe that the token bucket on the outgoing connections with its + current design is contra productive in the sense of queuing times. We + therefore propose modifications to the token bucket algorithm that will + eliminate the "double door effect" discussed above. + + Let us start from Tor's current approach: Thus, we have a regular token + bucket on the reading side with a certain rate and a certain burst size. + Let x denote the current amount of tokens in the bucket. On the outgoing + side we need something appropriate that monitors and constrains the + outgoing rate, but at the same time avoids holding back cells (cf. double + door effects) whenever possible. + + Here we propose something that adopts the role of a token bucket, but + realizes this functionality in a slightly different way. We call it a + "credit bucket". Like a token bucket, the credit bucket also has a current + fill level, denoted by y. However, the credit bucket is refilled in a + different way. + + To understand how it works, let us look at the possible operations: + + As said, x is the fill level of a regular token bucket on the incoming + side and thus gets incremented periodically according to the configured + rate. No changes here. + + If x<=0, we are obviously not allowed to read. If x>0, we are allowed to + read up to x bytes of incoming data. If k bytes are read (k<=x), then we + update x and y as follows: + + x = x - k (1) + y = y + k (2) + + (1) is the standard token bucket operation on the incoming side. Whenever + data is admitted in, though, an additional operation is performed: (2) + allocates the same number of bytes on the outgoing side, which will later + on allow the same number of bytes to leave the onion router without any + delays. + + If y + x > -M, we are allowed to write up to y + x + M bytes on the + outgoing side, where M is a positive constant. M specifies a burst size for + the outgoing side. M should be higher than the number of tokens that get + refilled during a refill interval, we would suggest to have M in the order + of a few seconds "worth" of data. Now if k bytes are written on the + outgoing side, we proceed as follows: + + If k <= y then y = y - k + + In this case we use "saved" credits, previously allocated on the incoming + side when incoming data has been processed. + + If k > y then y = 0 and x = x - (k-y) + + We generated additional traffic in the onion router, so that more data is + to be sent than has been read (the credit is not sufficient). We therefore + "steal" tokens from the token buffer on the incoming side to compensate for + the additionally generated data. This will result in correspondingly less + data being read on the incoming side subsequently. As a result of such an + operation, the token bucket fill level x on the incoming side may become + negative (but it can never fall below -M). + + If y + x <= -M then outgoing data will be held back. This may lead to + double-door effects, but only in extreme cases where the outgoing traffic + largely exceeds the incoming traffic, so that the outgoing bursts size M is + exceeded. + + Aside from short-term bursts of configurable size (as with every token + bucket), this procedure guarantees that the configured rate may never be + exceeded (on the application layer, that is; as with the current + implementation, an attacker may easily cause the onion router to + arbitrarily exceed the limits on the lower layers). Over time, we never + send more data than the configured rate: every sent byte needs a + corresponding token on the incoming side; this token must either have been + consumed by an incoming byte before (it then became a "credit"), or it is + "stolen" from the incoming bucket to compensate for data generated within + the onion router. + +Specific Design Changes: + + In the following we briefly point out the specific changes that need to be + done in Tor's source code. By doing so one can see how non intrusive our + modifications are. + + First we need to address the bucket increment and decrement operations. + According to the described logic above, this should be done in the methods + connection_bucket_refill and connection_buckets_decrement respectively. In + particular allocating, saving and "stealing" of tokens need to be + considered here. + + Second the rate limiting, i.e. the amount we are allowed to write + (connection_bucket_write_limit) needs to be adapted in lines of the credit + bucket logic. Meaning in order to avoid the here identified unnecessary + queuing of cells, we need to consider the new burst parameter M. Here we + also need to take non rate limited connections such as from the localhost + into account. The rate limiting on the reading side remains the same. + + At last we need to find good values/ ratios for the parameter M such that + the trade off between avoiding "double door effects" and maintaining + strict rate limits work as expected. As future work and after insights + about the performance gain of the here described proposal we need to find a + way to implement this both using bufferevent rate limiting with libevent + 2.3.x and Tor's rate limiting code. + +Conclusion: + + This proposal can be implemented with moderate effort and requires changes + only at the points where currently the token bucket operations are + performed. + + We feel that this is not the be-all and end-all solution, because it again + introduces a feedback loop between the incoming and the outgoing side. We + therefore still hope that we will be able to come to a both simpler and + more effective design in the future. However, we believe that what we + proposed here is a good compromise between avoiding double-door effects to + the furthest possible extent, strictly enforcing an application-layer data + rate, and keeping the extent of changes to the code small. + + Feedback is highly appreciated. + +References: + + [1] Karsten Loesing.

[arm/master] Wizard config for setting up an exit

commit e8c3836e203a3e359a9b5b9a289dc73ddc3da92c Author: Damian Johnson <atagar(a)torproject.org> Date: Mon Jun 27 08:54:07 2011 -0700 Wizard config for setting up an exit This expands the wizard to provide a config panel for setting up an exit relay. This has the same options as an internal relay plus several for DirPortFrontPage and ExitPolicy. By default this will use the reduced exit policy [1], with options like Vidalia for selecting groups of services to allow. However, unlike Vidalia it won't allow the operator to pick plaintext ports without also having their encryped counterparts.
