Makeing all TBB users into middle nodes to make website traffic fingerprinting attacks much harder for a attacker
Making every user that uses tor into a middle node would increase the overall network bandwidth and have a constant flow of data entering and leaving each users network. This could make a website traffic fingerprinting attack much harder for a observer watching the traffic on the users end. When the user starts Tor Browser bundle it could randomize the advertised bandwidth to prevent a attacker from subtracting the max bandwidth from the users network and get a estimation on how much the user and not the middle node is using. This could also make it much harder for a time correlation attack to be preformed on users because of the constant traffic flow entering and leaving the users network.
