Re: [tor-dev] KIST somewhat implemented

Thanks for getting this started, Nick! I’ve added some comments and changes to the trac ticket #12890.

All the best, Rob

Hi!

So, Rob came up with this clever way to use help from an OS kernel to improve Tor's performance:

I've got a sketchy implementation together now.

See my comments on the end of ticket 12890. I have a branch which I believe implements something like the KIST algorithm for Linux as I discussed with Rob. I made a list of not-yet-implemented issues.

Rob, could you please let me know which of the issues I listed need to be fixed before this is reasonably testable?

cheers,

Nick
