Keeping logs of Tor related traffic on nodes -- a prerequisite for
analysing behaviour -- is not only a bad idea that weakens anonymity,
but is also potentially illegal.

Service providers can evaluate the percentage of incoming connections
from Tor exit nodes (exit lists are publicly available), but Tor nodes
should never keep a record of the source or destination of the traffic
they're routing, or of DNS lookups.
