Using this profile data, the simplest reasonable peer selection strategy
is to pick peers randomly from the top tier (fast and high capacity), and
this is currently deployed for client tunnels. Exploratory tunnels (used for
netDb and tunnel management) pick peers randomly from the "not failing" tier
(which includes routers in 'better' tiers as well), allowing the peer to sample
routers more widely, in effect optimizing the peer selection through randomized
hill climbing. These strategies alone do however leak information regarding
the peers in the router's top tier through predecessor and netDb harvesting
attacks. In turn, several alternatives exist which, while not balancing the
load as evenly, will address the attacks mounted by particular classes of
adversaries.
