-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This may sound like a clueless newbie question, but then it pretty much _is_, redeemed only by the fact that I know it. :-) Following a lead provided by another local newbie, I've been doing a bunch of amateur remailer testing, looping messages from here through a given remailer to a nym server, back through the remailer, to here, and toting up the travel times. The latency and reliability figures I'm getting bear little or no resemblance to the info included with Private Idaho, discussed here, and like that. Question: is this anything to be concerned about? I'm assuming that the folks doing ping testing are throwing far more clueful and automated procedures at the problem, just for starters. But then I get the impression that their methodology differs from what I'm doing here, too. (My aim was to simulate "normal" use, at least for me, and to go on to test times through combos of the most reliable sites later.)
