No, this information is publicly available when your Node joins the Tor network. All nodes (except for a limited set of entry-nodes) are publicly listed as being a part of the Tor network. Their IP addresses are used to approximate their location based on where the IP address is registered.
- chkuendig 11y agobut how is the flow of traffic between the nodes measured?
- pierrec 11y agoBecause the nodes in a path are determined randomly, with weighting based on publicly available scores, you can simply estimate the amount of traffic between any two given nodes. Here's a summary of how routes are chosen: http://tor.stackexchange.com/a/114 http://tor.stackexchange.com/a/114 And here's the code that does the traffic estimation based on node bandwidth scores (edit: hmm, seems that code might be slightly inaccurate, added a top level comment to point this out...): https://github.com/unchartedsoftware/torflow/blob/master/public/javascripts/particles/particlesystem.js https://github.com/unchartedsoftware/torflow/blob/master/pub...
