[tor-dev] Rebooting work on proposal #247 (guard discovery)

[George Kadianakis]

Hello Mike,

I'm finally getting out of the prop224/microdescriptor bug pile, and
getting more time to start working on guard stuff like prop247 again.

I'm planning to spend a few days next week to regain knowledge on
prop247. I'll check out the notes from the Wilmington hackfest, re-read
my old simulator's code, etc.

I know you have thought more about prop247 the past months, and it would
be great if you could brief me up on any updates that I should know
about. Specifically I'm wondering if you have any new insights on how
the proposed prop247 changes interact with Tor's guard algorithm (prop271)?

Also any other things I should know about from your work on the
performance simulator? Perhaps ideas about performance, topology or path
restrictions?

I'm hoping that such updates might help me boot up faster!

Cheers! :-)
