Update and Markdownify Proposal 344

I need a place to gather questions people have asked re prop#344 protocol issues that may warrant a mention or explanation inside prop#344. This is that place.

During such an update, we should also normalize the refs, and markdown it.

Here's a list:

  • tor#40977 (comment 3083791)
  • tor#40935 (comment 3090023)
  • arti#1425 (comment 3033351)
  • arti!2544 (diffs, comment 3094696)
  • #226 (comment 2961244)
  • Use OG Tor Design Doc terminology to motivate how the severe side channels upgrade attacks from "traffic analysis" to "traffic confirmation", or worse.
  • Historical issues like .exit notation, exitpolicy abuse, and other "free route" mixnet guard discovery bugs where the application layer was also free to influence paths to attack users
  • Historical path restriction issues touched on in the bridge family ticket

This description will be edited.
