I2P Usability vs. Tor Usability A Bandwidth and Latency Comparison
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyzes latency and bandwidth drawbacks while using I2P to surf the Internet anonymously. Therefore tests are conducted utilizing scripts previously used to analyse the TOR network. The results gained in the tests for I2P are analysed and in a next step compared to previous results observed in TOR. The results show that I2P can only yield advantages to TOR when issuing simple HTTP-GET-Requests, but is inferior to TOR when browsing complete web sites and downloading files. Also the findings include that with the described set up, theoretical user cancellation rate while browsing the web using I2P is 100%.
