+ o Major features (conflux):
+ - Implement Proposal 329 (conflux traffic splitting). Conflux splits
+ traffic across two circuits to Exits that support the protocol.
+ These circuits are pre-built only, which means that if the pre-built
+ conflux pool runs out, regular circuits will then be used.
+
+ When using conflux circuit pairs, clients choose the lower-latency
+ circuit to send data to the Exit. When the Exit sends data to the
+ client, it maximizes throughput, by fully utilizing both circuits in a
+ multiplexed fashion. Alternatively, clients can request that the Exit
+ optimize for latency when transmitting to them, by setting the torrc
+ option 'ConfluxClientUX latency'.
+
+ Onion services are not currently supported, but will be in arti. Many
+ other future optimizations will also be possible using this protocol.
+ Closes ticket 40593.
