Job story
When my connection speed is slow
I want to replace my circuit for a faster one
So I can browse the internet more effectively
Problem statement
Conflux is a feature that enhances reliability and performance by splitting traffic across multiple circuits at the same time and prioritizing circuits with lower RTT. However, Tor Browser’s UI currently covers the display of regular circuits only, not have being designed to display more complex circuits such as conflux. So we need to update the Onion Circuit component so it can show users when a conflux circuit is being used, as well as to allow users to upgrade regular circuits to conflux ones.
Scope
- Upgrade the Onion Circuit component to display when a conflux circuit is being used
Out of scope
- Conflux circuit for Onion Services
- Conflux circuit in Tor Browser for Android
- Allowing users to choose a specific type of circuit (i.e. regular or conflux)
Current Onion Circuit component
