Enhancing Tor's performance using real-time traffic classification
Mashael AlSabah, Kevin S. Bauer, Ian Goldberg · 2012
Tor is a low-latency anonymity-preserving network that enables its users to protect their privacy online. It consists of volunteer-operated routers from all around the world that serve hundreds of thousands of users every day. Due to congestion and a low relay-to-client ratio, Tor suffers from performance issues that can potentially discourage its wider adoption, and result in an overall weaker anonymity to all users.
