Conflux is traffic splitting, and will result in increased throughput and reduced latency for onion services after a connection has been established, by routing traffic over multiple paths, or via the lowest latency path to a service.
This ticket is for the onion service pieces of conflux (#40593 (closed)).
We will not be implementing the onion services pieces of conflux as part of that ticket. It can be done later, if any onion service sponsors care about latency or throughput.
