Hi! Our meeting notes for yesterday are below. We had a problem with
meetbot, and don't have logs for this week; with luck we'll have that
straightened out by next week.
Network team meeting, 25 September 2017
Last week's notes: how did we do?
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-project/2017-September/001447.html
After this meeting, please:
* Check everything assigned to you in 0.3.1 and 0.3.2. Should it
be? Should it be deferred?
* Check new and needs-info stuff in 0.3.1 and 0.3.2. Anything
there that you should/could be handling?
* Mark essential 0.3.2.2-alpha stuff with "0.3.2.2-alpha-must".
teor:
* Last week (or two):
* Fixed a nasty bug in Experimental PrivCount that ignored most
connection events
* Added intro and rend failure reasons to Experimental PrivCount
* Fixed a bug in Tor's HS stats noise, but we're missing a
function (#23414)
* anyone want to write a working round_int64_to_next_multiple_of?
* Found a bunch of little bugs in Tor connections and HS v3,
fixed some of them
* Fixed some tor-spec bugs, reviewed others
* Did some thinking about the longclaw move (we'll be fine) #23592
* Fell down the single onion service v3 IPv6 hole, trying to dig
out again #23493
* This week:
* Count the number of simultaneous connections per IP in
Experimental PrivCount
* Complete the HSDir events for Experimental PrivCount
* Get ready to travel to the dev meeting
* I'll be on leave next week, until the hackfest / dev meeting

asn
Last week:
- prop224 is currently in a controllable state. Most code has been merged,
and all open tickets are non-critical things (don't impact security or
reachability in a major way). We are now entering a deeper testing and
bugfixing stage.
- Made a wiki page for prop224:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/NextGenOnions and
established a small testing hub on a friendly IRC network. We currently
have about 15 testers but we need more! Check out:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/NextGenOnions#Howtoconnecttothetesthubfornextgenonionservices
- More testing, bugfixing and test writing for prop224. Worked on #23621,
#23603, #23159, #23641. Also see
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-September/012451.html
- More debugging for some elusive discnnects on prop224
clients/services: #23543
Are we seeing too many client disconnects with prop224 or is it normal
relay on a 6 hop circuit? We see lots and lots truncate cells with normal
reasons (channel closed, or ended).
- Managed a few hackerone bugs.
- Triaged a few prop224 tickets that were on 0.3.2.
- Did some preparation for the PhD.
This week:
- Need to figure out what to do with the open IPv6 + prop224 bugs
(i.e. #23493).
Delay until Montreal for discussion, or handle the first part now?
- More testing and dogfooding of prop224. We should have a Tor Browser with
0.3.2.1-alpha soon so more testing will happen :)
- Work on the various open prop224 tickets: #23621, #23603, etc.
- Prepare for Montreal meeting.
- Do reviews as needed.
