Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The Tor routing protocol aimed at providing anonymity for latency-sensitive applications such as web-browsing by routing traffic through a randomly-constructed circuit of intermediate relays. Previous studies showed that the barriers to widespread use of Tor are the unfairly load distribution and the low TCP throughput. We consider the available bandwidth metric as important for path selection to keep the TCP throughput and distribution of traffics across the Tor network. Then, we have studied the key attributes that degrade the Tor's performance, and introduced the adaptation measurement technique in Tor by applying the active network measurement. This measurement technique is useful to determine the available bandwidth on selected relays.
