Comment(by karsten):

 I finally got Shadow simulations of Steven's utp branch running (with help
 by Steven and Rob).  See
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/9166/sjm217
 -utp-combined.pdf attached simulation results] of a variant that uses uTP
 for all links and one that uses it for none of the links.  This was in a
 "tiny" Shadow network with 20 relays, which took almost 2.5 hours per
 simulation.

 Here's the code change I made to enable (`if (1 ||`) or disable uTP (`if
 (0 &&`):

 {{{

    tor_addr_to_str(addr_str, addr, sizeof(addr_str), 0);
 -  if (!strncmp(addr_str, "128.232.10.129", sizeof(addr_str))) {

      log_info(LD_CHANNEL,
               "Trying uTP connection to %s", addr_str);
      tlschan->utp = UTP_Create(tor_UTPSendToProc, tlschan, (const struct
 sockaddr*)&sin,
 }}}

 Am I doing the simulation right?  Should I apply different code changes to
 turn uTP on/off?  Should I run this in a larger Shadow network?
