From bab8375ef5e4a917f9512e4250c52a45d33fb9ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Dingledine Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2022 20:56:33 -0400 Subject: dir auths now omit Measured= if rs->is_authority Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight for relays with the Authority flag. Now these relays will be considered unmeasured, which should reserve their bandwidth for their dir auth role and minimize distractions from other roles. In place of the "Measured" weight, they now include a "MeasuredButAuthority" weight (not used by anything) so the bandwidth authority's opinion on this relay can be recorded for posterity. Resolves ticket 40698. --- changes/bug40698 | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changes/bug40698 (limited to 'changes') diff --git a/changes/bug40698 b/changes/bug40698 new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..98ddd4f968 --- /dev/null +++ b/changes/bug40698 @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ + o Minor bugfixes (dirauth): + - Directory authorities stop voting a consensus "Measured" weight + for relays with the Authority flag.
