    Comparison between normal and TOR-anonymized web client traffic

  • Original language description

    The adverse aspect of using TOR is significant increase of overhead and decrease of the traffic speed. TOR operation is based on "routing" the traffic through several nodes resulting in difficult and practically impossible direct calculation of the delaycaused by TOR application. The study was performed to quantify the delay of TOR comparing ordinary traffic. Www was used as a model of Internet traffic. The sample of pages and available via http throughout the world was chosen and the round-trip time was measured 10 times both with TOR and without TOR.The main result of the study is that the factor of round-trip time increase varies between 2 and more than 100. In case of configured TOR networks the ratio is lower but still high, 1.7 and 34. This is quite rough result that is shown in details in the article. The results show that TOR is useful anonymization tool but the delay caused by its use is enormous. Providing of more exact estimations would require more measurements however.
