Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:8 cypherpunks]:
 > As a Belgian, any circuit that begins or ends in Germany is too close
 for me. It's all within the larger European law enforcement zone.  Perhaps
 !EnforceDistinctContinents is a better idea.  Or !EnforceDistinctSubnets
 can be configurable for /4, /8 or user defined ranges.

 research done on this level?  Is it not core to Tor's anonymity?

 Perhaps "why hasn't tor implemented anything related to this research?" is
 a better question. It seems IX points are the problem.  The AS paper
 doesn't seem to matter much.
