Within a Tor Network, there are different computers which we term as "Relay" which creates a circuit(path) in a Tor Network, so that the user can surf the internet Anonymously. If these Relay's cannot communicate with each other, they seriously affect the Tor Network and the performance of the Network degrades, which ultimately affects the anonymity, bandwidth, latency the Tor Network aims to provide.
My proposal aims to create a tool called eRPC(An efficient Relay Partition Checker), that can be used to scan for partitions among these Relays and provide an output that can be used to visualise the data further, so that the condition can be monitored properly.
