[tor-commits] [tor/maint-0.4.5] Add a MinTimeToReportBandwidth option; make it 0 for testing networks.
commit 2ae24d003d1d12e8e202748c4398d7438e4a65d9
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a MinTimeToReportBandwidth option; make it 0 for testing networks.
This option changes the time for which a bandwidth measurement period
must have been in progress before we include it when reporting our
observed bandwidth in our descriptors. Without this option, we only
consider a time period towards our maximum if it has been running
for a full day. Obviously, that's unacceptable for testing
networks, where we'd like to get results as soon as possible.
For non-testing networks, I've put a (somewhat arbitrary) 2-hour
minimum on the option, since there are traffic analysis concerns
with immediate reporting here.
Closes #40337.

+ o Minor features (bandwidth reporting):
+ - Relays can now use the MinTimeToReportBandwidth option to change
+ the smallest amount of time over which they're willing to report
+ their observed maximum bandwidth. Previously, this was fixed
