Tor design article says:
"Customers concerned with linkability should rotate circuits more often than those concerned with traceability ."
These seem to be precise terms. What do you mean by formally?
What exactly do "linkability" and "traceability" mean in the context of private traffic networks? [closed]

Hello, I'm going to make some comments that I believe will help you better understand the terms based on my CCNA studies, but I can not guarantee 100% that I am not mistaken.
In my view, within the context of the sentence presented, linkability means "have multiple connections." Traceability means "to have control over existing connections."
This way:
"Customers who are concerned about having multiple connection points should rotate (use routing protocols to create a connection network) circuits more often than those concerned with having control over existing connections."
Phrase Logic:
The fewer jumps a packet runs on a network (jumps mean the number of routers to which the packet passes before reaching its destination), the easier it is to accurately detect / predict the route this packet took. Therefore, the less connection points a network has, the easier it will be to manage it (control traffic).
Note: I assume that this sentence was taken from a context that uses dynamic routing protocols, such as EIGRP or OSPF, where the next hop address is calculated based on protocol-specific criteria and, thus, the route that the packages take to reach your destination varies.
