- Overview
For padding overhead due to Proposals 251 and 254, and changes to hidden service path selection in Proposal 247, it will be useful to be able to specify a pair of parameters that represents the additional traffic present on Guard and Middle nodes due to these changes.
I don't know if it's worth noting that proposals 252 and 260 (the Single Onion Services variants) will reduce traffic to guard and middle nodes, as they remove the nodes between the hidden service and client-controlled endpoint (rendezvous point in Rendezvous Single Onion Services, extend point in Single Onion Services).
I think these will just be part of the overhead parameters?
Probably, though this will require us to have some estimation on the amount of network traffic using these services. Will they be broken out separately in the extra-info hidden service stats?

Since Rendezvous Single Onion Services (RSOS) and Single Onion Services (SOS) have the same path length, I think they can be combined into a single extra-info statistic, rather than being split into separate groups.
I don't know what impact separating HS and (R)SOS has on anonymity, but my gut feeling is that it should be OK as large site operators are keen to adopt (R)SOS.
