It is not part of the Tor onion routing +protocol. + +This protocol replaces version 0 of TC, which is now deprecated. For +reference, TC is described in "control-spec-v0.txt". Implementors are +recommended to avoid using TC directly, but instead to use a library that +can easily be updated to use the newer protocol. (Version 0 is used by Tor +versions 0.1.0.x; the protocol in this document only works with Tor +versions in the 0.1.1.x series and later.) + +```text + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL + NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + RFC 2119. +``` |
