However, TOR has been protecting people’s identity from uncovering and letting them express their ideas over the internet anonymously. I will later describe some situations in which this ‘Completely’ term ‘Completely’ breaks. Highlighting the word ‘Completely’ I don’t say that nobody will ever know who you are and what you say on the internet through Tor. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.TOR, The Onion Router in long terms, is a world well known Anonymous Network which provides users browse internet ‘Completely’ anonymously. More exact estimations would require more measurements.

Results show that TOR is useful anonymization tool but the delay due to TOR use is huge. This is rough result that is shown in the article. Measurements were made in various days of week and various times to eliminate possible fluctuations due to varying traffic target In case of configured TOR networks the ratio is lower but still high, from 1.7 to 34. The sample of 14 stable For manual TOR measurement two onion routers were configured in two locations. The study was performed to quantify the delay associated with using TOR comparing ordinary traffic. TOR operation is based on “routing” the traffic through several nodes resulting in difficult and practically impossible direct calculation of the delay. So far no study focusing the quantification of such decrease was published. The adverse aspect of using TOR is significant increase of overhead and decrease of the traffic speed. TOR is known free tool for traffic anonymization on the Internet.
