[tor-talk] Scaling Tor

[Mike Fikuart]

Thanks, George.

Interesting proposal and an area I hadn’t considered to be an issue.  I will look again at the HS process and review links in more detail.

Yours sincerely

Hi Tor-Talk,

I am interested in the scaling limits to Tor and what present the
bottlenecks to Tor’s future expansion.  I have looked into the
documentation available and see that Tor has far exceeded initial
projections through structural changes to the relationships between
clients, DA’s and relays.


Hidden Services have trouble scaling.

We've been thinking how to build availability in them by allowing
multiple nodes behind a single HS. There are many threads about this
in [tor-dev].

A good starting point is:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-April/006788.html
along with the threads it references in the beginning.
