[tor-bugs] #7986 [Tor]: Lengthen the consensus validity interval
#7986: Lengthen the consensus validity interval
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: nickm | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: Tor: 0.2.4.x-final
Component: Tor | Version:
Keywords: tor-client | Parent: #2681
Points: | Actualpoints:
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Right now, the 24 hour "build a consensus in this interval or die
horribly" time is chosen completely arbitrarily. I know of no reason to
not allow 48 or 72 hours.
See comments on #2681 for more discussion of this point. There's some
discussion there of choosing an optimal time, but I suggest we just have
some clients try 48 or 72 hours and see how it goes.
I'm boldly going with 72.
cc'ing arma because he remembers where the pain points are on the
directory info download food chain, and mike because he has felt the pain.
