OnionPerf: Scalability, Performance, Establishing Baseline Metrics

In this project, the Tor Metrics and Tor Network teams will work together to improve OnionPerf so that it is a useful tool for all developers and researchers. As a result of this project, we will be able to conduct more meaningful experiments on the Tor network. Enhancing OnionPerf is a critical foundational step in the work to scale the Tor network.

The goals of this project are to:

• Make operational improvements to existing OnionPerf deployments and make it easier to deploy new OnionPerf instances;
• Expand the kinds of measurements OnionPerf can take by making improvements to its codebase; and
• Make improvements to the way we analyze performance metrics.
