    fix: docs: Move torflow scaling docstring to docs
    
    so that it has its own page as it is too long as docstring and is
    harder to write latex with the docstring syntax.

+Torflow measurements aggregation
+==================================
+
+From Torflow's README.spec.txt (section 2.2)::
+
+    In this way, the resulting network status consensus bandwidth values  # NOQA
+    are effectively re-weighted proportional to how much faster the node  # NOQA
+    was as compared to the rest of the network.
+
+The variables and steps used in Torflow:
+
+**strm_bw**::
+
+    The strm_bw field is the average (mean) of all the streams for the relay  # NOQA
+    identified by the fingerprint field.
+    strm_bw = sum(bw stream x)/|n stream|
+
+**filt_bw**::
+
+    The filt_bw field is computed similarly, but only the streams equal to  # NOQA
+    or greater than the strm_bw are counted in order to filter very slow  # NOQA
+    streams due to slow node pairings.
+
+**filt_sbw and strm_sbw**::
+
+    for rs in RouterStats.query.filter(stats_clause).\
+          options(eagerload_all('router.streams.circuit.routers')).all():  # NOQA
+      tot_sbw = 0
+      sbw_cnt = 0
+      for s in rs.router.streams:
+        if isinstance(s, ClosedStream):
+          skip = False
+          #for br in badrouters:
+          #  if br != rs:
+          #    if br.router in s.circuit.routers:
+          #      skip = True
+          if not skip:
+            # Throw out outliers < mean
+            # (too much variance for stddev to filter much)
+            if rs.strm_closed == 1 or s.bandwidth() >= rs.sbw:
+              tot_sbw += s.bandwidth()
+              sbw_cnt += 1
+
+    if sbw_cnt: rs.filt_sbw = tot_sbw/sbw_cnt
+    else: rs.filt_sbw = None
+
+**filt_avg, and strm_avg**::
+
+    Once we have determined the most recent measurements for each node, we  # NOQA
+    compute an average of the filt_bw fields over all nodes we have measured.  # NOQA
+
+::
+
+    filt_avg = sum(map(lambda n: n.filt_bw, nodes.itervalues()))/float(len(nodes))  # NOQA
+    strm_avg = sum(map(lambda n: n.strm_bw, nodes.itervalues()))/float(len(nodes))  # NOQA
+
+**true_filt_avg and true_strm_avg**::
+
+    for cl in ["Guard+Exit", "Guard", "Exit", "Middle"]:
+        true_filt_avg[cl] = filt_avg
+        true_strm_avg[cl] = strm_avg
+
+In the non-pid case, all types of nodes get the same avg
+
+**n.fbw_ratio and n.fsw_ratio**::
+
+    for n in nodes.itervalues():
+        n.fbw_ratio = n.filt_bw/true_filt_avg[n.node_class()]
+        n.sbw_ratio = n.strm_bw/true_strm_avg[n.node_class()]
+
+**n.ratio**::
+
+    These averages are used to produce ratios for each node by dividing the  # NOQA
+    measured value for that node by the network average.
+
+::
+
+    # Choose the larger between sbw and fbw
+      if n.sbw_ratio > n.fbw_ratio:
+        n.ratio = n.sbw_ratio
+      else:
+        n.ratio = n.fbw_ratio
+
+**desc_bw**:
+
+It is the minimum of all the descriptor bandwidth values::
+
+    bws = map(int, g)
+    bw_observed = min(bws)
+
+    return Router(ns.idhex, ns.nickname, bw_observed, dead, exitpolicy,
+    ns.flags, ip, version, os, uptime, published, contact, rate_limited,  # NOQA
+    ns.orhash, ns.bandwidth, extra_info_digest, ns.unmeasured)
+
+    self.desc_bw = max(bw,1) # Avoid div by 0
+
+**new_bw**::
+
+    These ratios are then multiplied by the most recent observed descriptor  # NOQA
+    bandwidth we have available for each node, to produce a new value for  # NOQA
+    the network status consensus process.
+
+::
+
+    n.new_bw = n.desc_bw*n.ratio
+
+The descriptor observed bandwidth is multiplied by the ratio.
+
+**Limit the bandwidth to a maximum**::
+
+    NODE_CAP = 0.05
+
+::
+
+    if n.new_bw > tot_net_bw*NODE_CAP:
+      plog("INFO", "Clipping extremely fast "+n.node_class()+" node "+n.idhex+"="+n.nick+  # NOQA
+            " at "+str(100*NODE_CAP)+"% of network capacity ("+
+            str(n.new_bw)+"->"+str(int(tot_net_bw*NODE_CAP))+") "+
+            " pid_error="+str(n.pid_error)+
+            " pid_error_sum="+str(n.pid_error_sum))
+      n.new_bw = int(tot_net_bw*NODE_CAP)
+
+However, tot_net_bw does not seems to be updated when not using pid.
+This clipping would make faster relays to all have the same value.
+
+All of that can be expressed as:
+
+.. math::
+
+    bwn_i =& min\\left(bwnew_i,
+              \\sum_{i=1}^{n}bwnew_i \\times 0.05\\right) \\
+
+          &= min\\left(
+              \\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times r_i\\right),
+                \\sum_{i=1}^{n}\\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times r_i\\right)
+                \\times 0.05\\right)\\
+
+          &= min\\left(
+              \\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times max\\left(rf_i, rs_i\\right)\\right),
+                \\sum_{i=1}^{n}\\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times
+                  max\\left(rf_i, rs_i\\right)\\right) \\times 0.05\\right)\\
+
+          &= min\\left(
+              \\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times max\\left(\\frac{bwfilt_i}{bwfilt},
+                  \\frac{bw_i}{bwstrm}\\right)\\right),
+                \\sum_{i=1}^{n}\\left(min\\left(bwobs_i, bwavg_i, bwbur_i \\right) \\times
+                  max\\left(\\frac{bwfilt_i}{bwfilt},
+                    \\frac{bw_i}{bwstrm}\\right)\\right) \\times 0.05\\right)
