## Lox related open problems
|
|
|
1. **Question**: How do we know that a bridge is blocked?
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Some relevant discussion/links**:
|
|
|
- This is a long-standing issue that will benefit all bridge distributors, but is particularly important for Lox. There is some discussion of the issue [here](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/lox/lox-overview/-/wikis/Lox-Roadmap#bridge-reachability).
|
|
|
- Issue: [Brainstorm and analyze heuristics to guess that a bridge might be offline or blocked](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/censorship-analysis/-/issues/40035)
|
|
|
- Metrics can be helpful in determining a blockage
|
|
|
- Bridge users/operators (as a first line and quickest way to collect info)
|
|
|
- Compare reports against other metrics to make final determination
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Question**: Find optimal parameter tuning for different censorship landscapes
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Some relevant discussion/links**:
|
|
|
- This is a more long-term issue that won't be able to be easily addressed until Lox has been deployed and we have a better idea of how it performs as a bridge distribution system in practice.
|
|
|
- With metrics and careful measurement of Lox's performance, some patterns may emerge that are helpful for finding optimal parameters for different types of situations. |
