But why not just use TCP in the first place?
Why limit services to the most bandwidth consuming kinds of sockets? Olof

Because the bandwith picture looks different once you try to onion route it. Also, just tcp gets you a lot farther than just udp, so it's obvious which one to do first, and, by extension, only.

Ok, my lets regard UDP as a design constraint on the client side. Then how do I route the traffic to the onion-host?
https://www.onioncat.org/ https://www.cypherpunk.at/onioncat_trac/ FYI: The onioncat folks are interested in collaborating with tor folks regarding prop224. https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/224-rend-spec-ng.tx...

Hi grarpamp, I'm interested in what kind of collaboration onioncat would like to do on prop224, next-generation hidden services. It would be great to work this out in the next few weeks, as we're coding parts of the proposal right now. But the tor-onions mailing list is to discuss the technical details running onion services. Can we discuss onioncat, tor, and the development of prop224 on tor-dev mailing list? Tim Tim Wilson-Brown (teor) teor2345 at gmail dot com PGP 968F094B ricochet:ekmygaiu4rzgsk6n
