"Fast" -- A router is 'Fast' if it is active, and its bandwidth is
either in the top 7/8ths for known active routers or at least 100KB/s.
- "Guard" -- A router is a possible 'Guard' if it is 'Stable' and its
- bandwidth is either at least the median for known active routers or
- at least 250KB/s. If the total bandwidth of active non-BadExit Exit
- servers is less than one third of the total bandwidth of all active
- servers, no Exit is listed as a Guard.

"Authority" -- A router is called an 'Authority' if the authority
generating the network-status document believes it is an authority.
