-Title: Remove routers that are not Running from consensus documents
-Author: Peter Palfrader
-Created: 11-Jun-2008
-Status: Closed
-Implemented-In: 0.2.1.2-alpha
-
-1. Overview.
-
-  Tor directory authorities hourly vote and agree on a consensus document
-  which lists all the routers on the network together with some of their
-  basic properties, like if a router is an exit node, whether it is
-  stable or whether it is a version 2 directory mirror.
-
-  One of the properties given with each router is the 'Running' flag.
-  Clients do not use routers that are not listed as running.
-
-  This proposal suggests that routers without the Running flag are not
-  listed at all.
-
-2. Current status
-
-  At a typical bootstrap a client downloads a 140KB consensus, about
-  10KB of certificates to verify that consensus, and about 1.6MB of
-  server descriptors, about 1/4 of which it requires before it will
-  start building circuits.
-
-  Another proposal deals with how to get that huge 1.6MB fraction to
-  effectively zero (by downloading only individual descriptors, on
-  demand).  Should that get successfully implemented that will leave the
-  140KB compressed consensus as a large fraction of what a client needs
-  to get in order to work.
-
-  About one third of the routers listed in a consensus are not running
-  and will therefore never be used by clients who use this consensus.
-  Not listing those routers will save about 30% to 40% in size.
-
-3. Proposed change
-
-  Authority directory servers produce vote documents that include all
-  the servers they know about, running or not, like they currently
-  do.  In addition these vote documents also state that the authority
-  supports a new consensus forming method (method number 4).
-
-  If more than two thirds of votes that an authority has received claim
-  they support method 4 then this new method will be used:  The
-  consensus document is formed like before but a new last step removes
-  all routers from the listing that are not marked as Running.
