Hi Nick,
Is the guard connection closed when becoming dormant?
No; it times out independently.
In that case I assume keepalives from the guard don't prevent Tor from becoming dormant, or wake it from dormant mode. On Android, a keepalive will briefly wake the CPU. When that happens, will Tor consume the keepalive from the network buffer while remaining dormant, or does the controller need to wake Tor from dormant mode periodically to ensure it reads from the guard connection?
Thanks again, Michael
