O1.5 - Measure the number of connections, and consumed bandwidth, using IPv4 and IPv6

See Proposal 313: Relay IPv6 Statistics: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/313-relay-ipv6-stats.txt

The child tickets are in proposal section order, but they will probably be implemented in this order:

Pre-Implementation Bugs:

  • Fix: Tor relays ignore some local bytes in their statistics
  • Diagnose: ConnDirectionStatistics is off by default, but most relays report it

Dependencies:

  • (None)

Implementation:

  • Collect IPv6 Bandwidth Stats on Relays and Bridges
  • Collect IPv6 Connection Stats on Relays
  • Update Directory Spec for IPv6 Stats

Internal Testing:

  • Test IPv6 Statistics using Chutney (O1.3, legacy/trac#33271 (moved))

Public Tor Network Testing:

  • Test IPv6 Stats on the Tor Network

Metrics Analysis:

  • Analyse and Monitor IPv6 Stats

Children:

  • #33159 (closed) Write a proposal for monitoring IPv6
  • #33263 (closed) Prop 313: 4. Collect IPv6 Bandwidth Stats on Relays and Bridges
  • #33264 (closed) Prop 313: 5. Collect IPv6 Connection Stats on Relays
  • #33201 (closed) Tor relays ignore some local bytes in their statistics
  • #33265 (closed) Prop 313: 6. Update Directory Spec for IPv6 Stats
  • #33617 (closed) Add a BandwidthStatistics option and consensus parameter
  • #33272 (closed) Prop 313: 8.2. Test IPv6 Stats on the Tor Network
  • #33273 Prop 313: 8.2. Analyse and Monitor IPv6 Stats
  • #33214 (closed) ConnDirectionStatistics is off by default, but most relays report it
