@Green
Could please explain a bit more what you mean by "Avoiding using two nodes from the same AS would seemingly go a long way toward mitigating the attack vector you mentioned though."
Thanks Paul

Tor path selection avoids using relays from the same /16 subnet, and I thought it considered the Autonomous System (AS) as well. However now I'm not finding concrete evidence that path selection looks at AS. I found some older academic papers on the subject [1], but nothing in the current specification [2].
