Re: [tor-relays] Tor bandwidth scanner "longclaw" slow to the US West Coast
Hi juga,
Sorry for the delayed response.

No problem.
Tor bandwidth scanners and directory authorities not necessarily run in
the same machine/IP and it's the case of longclaw's bandwidth scanner,
which is located in the US East Coast.
Good to know.
If the reason for lower bandwidth measurements is the location -it
could
be other reasons- then it's weird that it would affect the US West
Coast
and not Europe, given it's located in the US East Coast.
Thanks for telling me. It seems weird, West Coast congestion maybe?
To understand why this is happening, it's very helpful that you give us
this information.
I personally suspect it might not be related to the scanner location.
We'll investigate this as part of the issue you opened at
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/network-health/sbws/-/issues/40014.
It might take some weeks, since a lot of the work done on this topic is
volunteer work. Apologies in advance about it.
Understood.
I don't mind helping if you need help. I am a Core Tor contributor, but
am also open to working with sbws.
Is anyone else hosting West Coast relays having this issue?
Good question.
Is
"longclaw" actually measuring bandwidth from Europe? If so, WHY?
No, it's not measuring bandwidth from Europe.
Good to hear.
I got in contact with "longclaw"'s admin and he wasn't too helpful.
It looks to me that the longclaw's admin has been helpful if they have
suggested you to write to this mailing list, so that more people can
check this issue and/or they have suggested you to report an issue in
gitlab so that the bandwidth scanner developers won't forget about it
:)
Also, not all directory authorities run bandwidth scanners and not all
of them know about the complexity on how bandwidth is determined.
Hope it helps.
I guess it's really easy to complain and blame longclaw's admin.
It could also be peering, but I am not sure. Wave does have congestion
issues from time to time, but this affects more than Tor.
Sometimes, faravahar also may have this issue, but not to the same
extent, and I can't confirm if this is true.
Thank you for responding.
Best,
juga
