how the directory +authorities assign the Stable and Guard relay flags. +This simulator uses archived directory data to decide when a relay was +running and when it failed or was restarted. +We further use this simulator to calculate future stability metrics that +help us evaluate the quality of a given relay flag assignment. +We modify the input parameters to Tor's stability metrics to see whether +we can improve how the directory authorities should assign relay flags. +The analysis data and simulator used in this report are available on the +Tor metrics website at \url{https://metrics.torproject.org/}. + +\section{Requirements for Stable and Guard flags} + +The requirements for assigning the Stable and the Guard flags are defined +in the Tor directory protocol specification \cite{dirspec}. +These definitions are revised here to better reflect what is implemented +in the code: + +\begin{quote} +``A router is `Stable' if it is active, and either its Weighted MTBF is at +least the median for known active routers or its Weighted MTBF corresponds +to at least [5] days. +[...] +A router is a possible `Guard' [if it is `familiar',] if its +Weighted Fractional +Uptime is at least the median for `familiar' active routers [or its +Weighted Fractional Uptime is at least 98~\%], and if +its [advertised] bandwidth is at least median [of all active routers] or +at least 250KB/s. +[...] +A node is `familiar' if 1/8 of all active nodes have appeared more +recently than it, or it has been around for [a weighted time of 8 days].'' +\end{quote} + +These definitions entail four requirements for assigning relay flags, one +for the Stable flag and three for the Guard flag: +\begin{description} +\item[Weighted Mean Time Between Failure (WMTBF):] +The WMTBF metric is used to track the length of continuous uptime sessions +over time. +The (unweighted) MTBF part measures the average uptime between a relay +showing up in the network and either leaving or failing. +In the weighted form of this metric, which is used here, past sessions +are discounted by factor $0.95$ every $12$~hours. +Current uptime sessions are not discounted, so that a WMTBF value of +5~days can be reached after 5~days at the earliest. +\item[Weighted Fractional Uptime (WFU):] The WFU metric measures the +fraction of uptime of a relay in the past. +Similar to WMTBF, WFU values are discounted by factor $0.95$ every +$12$~hours, but in this case including the current uptime session. +\item[Weighted Time:] The Weighted Time metric is used to calculate a +relay's WFU and to decide whether a relay is around long enough to be +considered `familiar.' +The Weighted Time is discounted similar to WMTBF and WFU, so that a +Weighted Time of 8 days can be reached after around 16 days at the +earliest. +\item[Advertised Bandwidth:] The Advertised Bandwidth of a relay is the +minimum of its configured average bandwidth rate and the maximum observed +bandwidth over any ten second period in the past day. +It should be noted that the advertised bandwidth is self-reported by +relays and has been misused in the past to attract more traffic than a +relay should see. +In theory, using the advertised bandwidth value has become discouraged +for anything critical. +\end{description} + +All four requirements have in common that they consist of a dynamic part +that relies on the current network situation (e.g., median of all WMTBF +values for the Stable flag) and a static part that is independent +of other relays (e.g., WMTBF value of 5 days or higher). +The dynamic part ensures that a certain fraction of relays get the +Stable and Guard flags assigned even in a rather unstable network. +The static part ensures that rather stable (or fast) relays are not denied +the flags even when most of the other relays in the network are highly +stable (or very fast). + +\section{Obtaining data for relay stability analysis} + +The internal data that the directory authorities use to decide whether a +relay should get the Stable or Guard flag assigned is not publicly +available. +Instead, we rely on the network status consensuses and server descriptors +that are archived and publicly available since October +2007. +The network status consensuses tell us which relays were available with a +granularity of 1~hour, and the server descriptors help us figure out +whether a relay was restarted in the 1~hour before being listed in a +network status. +We further learn whether a relay got the Stable and/or Guard flag assigned +and what bandwidth it advertised and actually used for relaying data at a +given time. +In detail, we obtain the following data for this analysis: + +\begin{description} +\item[Valid-after time:] The time when a network status consensus was +published. +\item[Fingerprint:] A relay's unique public key fingerprint. +\item[Restarted:] Was a relay restarted within the last hour before the +valid-after time based on its self-reported uptime? +\item[Stable:] Did the directory authorities assign the Stable flag to a +relay? +\item[Guard:] Did the directory authorities assign the Guard flag to a +relay? +\item[Advertised bandwidth:] A relay's self-reported advertised bandwidth. +\item[Bandwidth history:] How many bytes did the relay write on a given +day? +\end{description} + +The choice for using these archived data instead of, e.g., trying to +obtain the internal relay stability data that the directory authorities +use has a few advantages and disadvantes. +The main disadvantage is that our data has a granularity of one hour and +can only detect a single failure or restart within this hour. +It's unclear which effect this lack of detail has on less stable relays. + +But there are a few advantages of using the archived network data: +We have a few years of data available that we can use for the analysis. +If we started obtaining original stability data from the directory +authorities, we'd have to wait a few months before conducting this +analysis. +Also, it's still unclear whether the Tor code that assigns relay flags is +correct, so it makes sense to use a different data basis. +Finally, we need the directory archives anyway to evaluate how stable or +fast a relay turned out to be after being selected. + +\section{Simulating current Stable/Guard assignments} + +The first step before varying the requirements for assigning relay flags +is to run a simulation with the current default requirements. +Only if we manage to come up with similar results as the directory +authorities, we can hope that our suggested parameter changes will have +similar effects in the real Tor network. + +Figure~\ref{fig:default-reqs} shows the fractions of relays that got the +Stable and Guard flags assigned by the directory +authorities (``observed'' lines) and in our simulation with default +requirements (``simulated'' lines). +Ideally, the observed lines should match the simulated lines. +The two Guard lines overlap for about half of the observed time interval +and the difference is always below 5~\% of running relays, which seems to +be acceptable. +The fraction of Guard relays in the simulation is rather stable at 28~\% +whereas the observed fraction goes up to 33~\% for three months. +The observed Stable line seems to be systematically 5 to 10~\% higher than +the simulated line. + +\begin{figure}[t] +\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{default-reqs.pdf} +\caption{Fraction of relays that got the Stable and Guard flag assigned by +the directory authorities and in our simulation with default requirements} +\label{fig:default-reqs} +\end{figure} + +We first investigate the differences by looking in how far the sets of +observed and simulated sets overlap. +After all, it could be that our simulated 30~\% of Guard relays are a +completely different subset of relays than the observed 30~\%. +Figure~\ref{fig:diff-sim-obs} shows the absolute number of relays in the +intersection and the sets of only observed or only simulated relays. +This graph shows that the majority of relay assignments overlap for both +flags. +The sets of Stable relays that are only found in the simulation is rather +small with around 50 relays. +Compared to that, there are between 100 and 200 relays on average that got +the Stable flag assigned by the directory authorities but which did not +qualify for that flag in the simulation. +The situation of assigned Guard flags is somewhat different. +In July and August 2010, there are about 50 relays in the only-observed +and only-simulated sets. +From September 2010 on, there are hardly any relays in the only-simulated +set, but the number of relays in the only-observed set goes up to nearly +100. + +\begin{figure}[t] +\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{diff-sim-obs.pdf} +\caption{Number of relays that got the Stable and Guard flag assigned by +both the directory authorities and by our simulator or by just one of +them} +\label{fig:diff-sim-obs} +\end{figure} + +Before accepting these deviations as a given, we take a quick look at the +actual requirements to learn whether the dynamic or the static part of +requirements was more relevant. +Figure~\ref{fig:requirements} shows the dynamic parts as daily means (dark +gray lines) and daily min-max ranges (light gray ribbons) as well as the +static parts (dashed lines). +The dashed lines act as a limit here: if a dynamic requirement based on +the other relays exceeds the dashed line, the requirement is cut to the +fixed value and the fraction of relays meeting the requirement increases. +Whenever the dynamic requirement remains below the dashed line, the +fraction of relays that get flags assigned should remain more or less the +same. +For example, the top left graph indicates that it's quite possible that +more than 50~\% of relays got the Stable flag assigned from July +to November, but that this fraction should have dropped to 50~\% in +December 2010. +However, this was not the case. +The graph also indicates that the 250 KiB/s limit was never reached, so +that relays were always selected based on the comparison to the advertised +bandwidth of the other relays. + +\begin{figure} +\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{requirements.pdf} +\caption{Simulated requirements for assigning the Stable and Guard flags} +\label{fig:requirements} +\end{figure} + +Possible reasons for deviation of simulation and actual assignments by the +directory authorities are: + +\begin{enumerate} +\item The simulator code may contain bugs. +\item Our data with a granularity of 1~hour lack the details for detecting +restarts and failures and thereby make it hard to observe uptime sessions +correctly. +\item The directory authorities have slightly different views on the +network which then get mixed in the voting process. +\item The implementation of relay history on the directory authorities may +contain bugs. +\end{enumerate} + +For the remainder of this analysis we will assume that the simulated +number of Stable relays is 5 to 10~\% lower than in reality and that the +simulation of Guard is more or less

on their history. -A different angle to obtain higher relay stability might be to identify -what properties of a relay have a positive or negative impact on its -stability. -For example, relays running a given operating system or given Tor software -version might have a higher stability than others. -Possible consequences could be to facilitate setting up relays on a given -operating system or to improve the upgrade process of the Tor software. +In this report we used a simulator to evaluate Tor's relay stability +metrics for assigning Stable and Guard flags to relays. +We introduced three metrics to evaluate how stable or fast a set of relays +is that got the Stable or Guard flag assigned. +Our simulator uses the same algorithms to decide whether a relay is stable +as the directory authorities and can be parameterized to analyze different +requirements. +We could further add new algorithms to the simulator and see what subsets +of Stable and Guard relays that would produce. + +Using our simulator we found that the fraction of relays with the Stable +flag in the current network is higher than it probably should be. +We also learned that the WFU requirements for assigning the Guard flag are +quite reasonable and lead to stable guards. +But we might consider raising the advertised bandwidth requirement a bit +to have higher-bandwidth guard nodes. +Medium-term, we should get rid of a requirement that is based on the +self-reported advertised bandwidth. + +Possible next steps are to review the Tor source code for assigning flags +and compare the internal relay stability data from the directory +authorities to simulated values. +It would be interesting to know why the directory authorities assign the +Stable flag so generously. +Also, it would be interesting to compare the internal stability data from +multiple directory authorities to see in how far they agree. +Another possible next step might be to turn the four requirement +percentiles (WMTBF, WFU, Weighted Time, and Advertises Bandwidth) into +consensus parameters to be able to test parameter changes in the real +network. + +We also left the analysis of relay stability for hidden-service +directories, fallback consensuses, and bridge relays as future work. +Possible starting points are an earlier analysis of hidden-service +directory stability \cite{loesing2009thesis}, the Tor proposal +describing fallback consensuses \cite{proposal146}, and a tech report +explaining how bridge descriptors are sanitized to make them publicly +available \cite{loesing2011overview}. +

karsten(a)torproject.org}} + +\maketitle + +\section{Introduction} + +The Tor network consists of 2,200 relays and 600 bridges run by +volunteers, some of which are on dedicated servers and some on laptops or +mobile devices. +% TODO Look up more recent relay and bridge numbers. -KL +Obviously, we can expect the relays run on dedicated servers to be more +``stable'' than those on mobile phones. +But it is difficult to draw a line between stable and unstable relays. +In most cases it depends on the context which relays count as stable: + +\begin{itemize} +\item A stable relay that is supposed to be part of a circuit for a +\emph{long-running stream} should not go offline during the next day. +\item A stable relay that clients pick as \emph{entry guard} doesn't have +to be running continuously, but should be online most of the time in the +upcoming weeks. +\item A stable relay that acts as \emph{hidden-service directory} should +be part of a relay subset that mostly overlaps with the subsets 1, 2, or +even 3 hours in the future. +That means that the relays in this set should be stable, but also that not +too many new relays should join the set of stable relays at once. +\item A stable relay that clients use in a \emph{fallback consensus} that +is already a few days or even weeks old should still be available on the +same IP address and port.\footnote{See also proposal 146.} +Such a relay doesn't necessarily have to run without interruption, though. +% TODO Correctly cite proposal 146 here. -KL +\item A stable \emph{bridge relay} should be running on the same IP +address a few days after a client learns about the bridge, but again, +doesn't have to run continuously. +\end{itemize} + +All these stability notions have in common that some relays or bridges are +better suited for the described contexts than others. +In this analysis we will look at various relay stability metrics to find +the best suited set of relays for each context. +The idea of this report is to use the results to optimize how the +directory authorities assign relay flags that clients use to make path +select decisions. + +For every context, we try to simulate what requirements based on past +observations would have resulted in what relay stabilities in the near +future. +Generally, we'd expect that stricter requirements lead to higher +stability. +But every prediction contains a certain amount of randomness, so that we +cannot tighten the requirements arbitrarily. +Further, we want to ensure that the subset of relays identified as stable +does not become too small. +The reason is that there should be some diversity, so that not a few +operators can aim at running most relays used in a given context. +In some cases, the stable relays also need to provide sufficient bandwidth +to the network in order not to become a performance bottleneck. +We are going into more details about the requirements when looking into +the separate analyses in the sections below. + +The analysis data and tools are available on the Tor metrics website at +\url{https://metrics.torproject.org/}.\footnote{Or rather, will be made +available.} + +\section{Choosing relays for long-lived streams} +\label{sec:mtbf-sim} + +Whenever clients request Tor to open a long-lived stream, Tor should try +to pick only those relays for the circuit that are not likely to disappear +shortly after. +If only a single relay in the circuit fails, the stream collapses and a +new circuit needs to be built. +Depending on how well the application handles connection failures this may +impact usability significantly. + +In order to declare some relays as more useful for long-lived streams, the +directory authorities track uptime sessions of all relays over time. +Based on this history, they calculate the \emph{weighted mean time between +failure (WMTBF)} for each relay. +The MTBF part simply measures the average uptime between a relay showing +up in the Tor network and either leaving or failing. +In the weighted form of this metric, which is used here, older sessions +are weighted to count less. +The directory authorities assign the \texttt{Stable} flag to the 50~\% of +relays with the highest WMTBF. + +In this simulation we want to find out how useful the WMTBF metric is for +predicting future stability and how stability would be affected when +declaring more or less than 50~\% of the relays as stable. +The metric we chose for evaluating how stable a relay is is the \emph{time +until next failure}. +When running a simulation we determine the time until 10~\% of the +``stable'' relays have failed. +Under the (grossly simplified) assumption that relays are chosen +uniformly, $1 - 0.9^3 = 27.1~\%$ of streams using relays from this set +would have failed up to this point. + +\begin{figure}[t] +\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{mtbf-sim.pdf} +\caption{Impact of assigning the \texttt{Stable} flag to a given fraction +of relays on the actual required WMTBF

indicate a somewhat linear relation between required WMTBF and +time until failure, which is as expected. +The time until 10~\% of relays have failed in the default case of having +50~\% stable relays is somewhere between 12 and 48 hours. +If the directory authorities assigned the \texttt{Stable} flag to 60~\% or +even 70~\% of all relays, this time would go down to on average 24 or 12 +hours. +Reducing the set to only 40~\% or 30\% of relays would increase the time +until failure to 36 or even 48 hours on average. + +\subsubsection*{Next steps} + +{\it +\begin{itemize} +\item What's the desired stability goal here? +\item What other requirements (bandwidth) should go into the simulation? +\end{itemize} +} + +\section{Picking stable entry guards} + +Clients pick a set of entry guards as fixed entry points into the Tor +network. +Optimally, clients should be able to stick with their choice for a few +weeks. +While it is not required for all their entry guards to be running all the +time, at least a subset of them should be running, or the client needs to +pick a new set. + +Tor's metric for deciding which relays are stable enough to be entry +guards is \emph{weighted fractional uptime (WFU)}. +WFU measures the fraction of uptime of a relay in the past with older +observations weighted to count less. +The assumption is that a relay that was available most of the time in the +past will also be available most of the time in the future. + +In a first analysis we simulate the effect of varying the requirements for +becoming an entry guard on the average relay stability in the future. +We measure future stability by using the same WFU metric, but for uptime +in the future. +We similarly weight observations farther in the future less than +observations in the near future. +We then simulate different pre-defined required WFUs between $90~\%$ and +$99.9~\%$ and calculate what the mean future WFUs would be. + +\begin{figure}[t] +\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{wfu-sim.pdf} +\caption{Impact of different required WFU on the mean empirical future WFU +and fraction of potential entry guards} +\label{fig:wfu-sim} +\end{figure} + +Figure~\ref{fig:wfu-sim} shows the analysis results in a path plot similar +to the one in Section~\ref{sec:mtbf-sim}. +This path plot shows the effect of varying the WFU requirement, displayed +as different line colors, on the fraction of relays meeting this +requirement on the $x$ axis and on the WFU in the future on the $y$ axis. +Two data points adjacent in time are connected by a line, forming a path. + +In this graph we can see that the majority of data points for the default +required WFU of 98~\% falls in a future WFU range of 94~\% to 96\% with +the smallest WFU being no less than 89~\%. +In most cases, the fraction of relays meeting the default WFU requirement +is between 40~\% and 50~\%. + +If the WFU requirement is relaxed to 95~\% or even 90~\%, the WFU in the +future decreases slightly towards around 94~\% to 95~\% for most cases. +At first sight it may seem surprising that a past WFU of 90~\% leads to +a future WFU of 94~\%, but it makes sense, because the past WFU is a +required minimum whereas the future WFU is a mean value of all relays +meeting the requirement. +Another effect of relaxing the required WFU is that the fraction of relays +meeting the requirement increases from 50~\% to almost 66~\%. + +Interestingly, when tightening the requirement to a WFU value of 99~\% or +even 99.9~\%, the future WFU does not increase significantly, if at all. +To the contrary, the future WFU of relays meeting the 99.9~\% requirement +drops to a range of 91~\% to 94~\% for quite a while. +A likely explanation for this effect is that the fraction of relays +meeting these high requirements is only 15~\%. +While these 15~\% of relays may have had a very high uptime in the past, +failure of only a few of these relays ruin the WFU metric in the future. + +A cautious conclusion of this analysis could be that, if the goal is to +increase the number of \texttt{Guard} relays, reducing the required WFU to +95~\% or even 90~\% wouldn't impact relay stability by too much. +Conversely, increasing the required WFU beyond the current value of 98~\% +doesn't make much sense and might even negatively affect relay stability. + +\subsubsection*{Next steps} + +{\it +\begin{itemize} +\item Tor penalizes relays that change their IP address or port by ending +the running uptime session and starting a new uptime session. This +reduces both WFU and MTBF. The simulation doesn't take this into account +yet. Should it? +\item Add the bandwidth requirements to the simulation. The current +simulation doesn't make any assumptions about relay bandwidth when +assigning \texttt{Guard} flags. Which bandwidth value would we use here? +\item Add another graph similar to Figure~\ref{fig:wfu-sim}, but replace +the ``Fraction of relays meeting WFU requirement'' on the \emph{x} axis +with the ``Fraction of \emph{bandwidth} of relays meeting WFU +requirement.'' +After all, we're interested in having enough bandwidth capacity for the +entry guard position, not (only) in having enough distinct relays. +Which bandwidth value would we use here? +\item Roger suggests to come up with a better metric than ``WFU since we +first saw a relay.'' +He says ``it seems wrong to make something that we saw earlier have a +worse WFU than something we saw later, even if they've had identical +uptimes in that second period.'' +What would be good candidate metrics? +\item Ponder finding another metric than WFU for future observations. In +particular, with the current WFU parameters of $0.95$ and $12$ hours, the +WFU reaches up to 4 months into the future. It seems useful to weight +uptime in the near future higher than uptime in the farther future, but +maybe we should use parameters to limit the interval to $1$ or $2$ months. +\end{itemize} +} + +\section{Forming stable hidden-service directory sets} + +{\it +In this section we should evaluate the current requirements for getting +the \texttt{HSDir} flag. +Also, what happened to the number of relays with the \texttt{HSDir} flag +in August 2010? +} + +\section{Selecting stable relays for a fallback consensus} + +{\it +Is the concept of a fallback consensus still worth considering? +If so, we should analyze how to identify those relays that are most likely +to be around and reachable under the same IP address. +The result of this analysis could lead to adding a new \texttt{Longterm} +(or \texttt{Fallback}?) flag as suggested in proposal 146. +% TODO Correctly cite proposal 146 here. -KL +Maybe the analysis of bridges on stable IP addresses should come first, +though. +} + +\section{Distributing bridges with stable IP addresses} + +{\it +A possible outcome of this analysis could be to add a new flag +\texttt{StableAddress} (similar to the \texttt{Longterm} flag from the +previous section) to bridge network statuses and to change BridgeDB to +include at least one bridge with this flag in its results. +One of the challenges of this analysis will be to connect sanitized bridge +descriptors from two months with each other. +The sanitized IP addresses of two bridges in two months do not match, +because we're using a new secret key as input to the hash function every +month. +We might be able to correlate the descriptors of running bridges via their +descriptor publication times or bridge statistics. +But if that fails, we'll have to run the analysis with only 1 month of +data at a time. +} + +\section{Discussion and future work} + +The approach taken in this analysis was to select relays that are most +stable in a given context based on their history. +A different angle to obtain higher relay stability might be to identify +what properties of a relay have a positive or negative impact on its +stability. +For example, relays running a given operating system or given Tor software +version might have a higher stability than others. +Possible consequences could be to facilitate setting up relays on a given +operating system or to improve the upgrade process of the Tor software. + +\end{document} + diff --git a/task-2911/wfu-sim/SimulateWeightedFractionalUptime.java b/task-2911/wfu-sim/SimulateWeightedFractionalUptime.java new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6a2d7a9 --- /dev/null +++ b/task-2911/wfu-sim/SimulateWeightedFractionalUptime.java @@ -0,0 +1,314 @@ +/** + * Simulate variation of weighted fractional uptime on Guard relays.
