Hello All,
I've published object diagrams created from a conversation with Nick at the last Tor meeting, along with the original sketches (hopefully very similar).
github.com/chelseakomlo/tor_arch
The plan for these is to include them into documentation. These should definitely evolve along with tor's architecture, so please don't think of them as set in stone.
A couple questions/comments:
- What else should be included? The most important thing is that these are good visual assets for future discussions on topics such as modularization, where code/responsibility should belong, if any new structures are needed, etc.
- Some of these may need more information. For example, the scheduler diagram.
- If object diagrams do not capture tor's architecture accurately, we can also look at event modeling. This would model what happens as different events occur from start to finish in the tor network.
- If it is useful for these to be UML, I can do that. But more importantly is that they are useful.
Feedback welcome!
Chelsea
