# tor-circmgr
|
|
|
|
`tor-circmgr`: circuits through the Tor network on demand.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This crate is part of
|
|
[Arti](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/), a project to
|
|
implement [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) in Rust.
|
|
|
|
In Tor, a circuit is an encrypted multi-hop tunnel over multiple
|
|
relays. This crate's purpose, long-term, is to manage a set of
|
|
circuits for a client. It should construct circuits in response
|
|
to a client's needs, and preemptively construct circuits so as to
|
|
anticipate those needs. If a client request can be satisfied with
|
|
an existing circuit, it should return that circuit instead of
|
|
constructing a new one.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
But for now, this `tor-circmgr` code is extremely preliminary; its
|
|
data structures are all pretty bad, and it's likely that the API
|
|
is wrong too.
