Traffic is sent directly, not through Tor.

2. Is this only applicable to exit relays? That's not clear at all,

whether results from non-exit relay boxes (or bridges) are useful or wanted.

That's a great question. A relay that can act as a guard is also immediately useful to us. Bridges aren't directly addressed by our research; I'm sure we could find some use for measurements from bridges in the future, but right now, guards and exits are what we need.
