No, it means that if you intercept traffic from 10 top-bandwidth Tor routers with some characteristics (Guard + Exit, basically) at what's probably the nearest hardware switch (seems true for the nodes listed in my original message), then the probability of both entry and exit nodes being one of these routers is close to 11.5%. I just multiplied bandwidth-weighted probabilities for entry and exit nodes. The routers don't have to be on the same network. Enforcing different-family circuit nodes skews the probabilities, but not by much, so I didn't bother to account for that. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
