Contents

Our artifact has multiple dimensions. We contribute new software (which has already been merged into an existing open-source project), simulation inputs (configuration files and scripts) that can be used to re-run our experiments, simulation outputs (data files extracted from our simulations), and analysis scripts that can be used to process our simulation data and reproduce the graphs in our paper.

We have broken our artifact into multiple parts, each of which are described on its own subpage of this site:

  1. The simulator page describes an open-source software tool
  2. The benchmarks page describes how to reproduce our benchmark experiments
  3. The tor page describes how to reproduce our Tor network experiments
