Is the relay still useful to the network? I am seeing traffic pass
through it without issue. I could ask the host to move it to one of four
other locations in Russia. I chose Novosibirsk (OVB1) because it is near
mainland China and I figure it would be helpful to improve geographic
diversity, especially with routes to China (Novosibirsk is as far away
from Europe as possible). The other locations I can migrate to are Kazan
(KAZ1, looking glass 176.32.33.241), St. Petersburg (LED1, looking glass
194.87.196.227), and two DCs in Moscow (MOW1 and MOW2, LG 45.140.169.150
and 195.133.10.134, respectively). Their online ping test shows that all
authorities are accessible from all of their locations, at least now.
On a related note, I do have a relay in Hungary which has connectivity
issues with several of my other relays (4 out of 31). It passes a fair
bit of traffic regularly and has no issues with connecting to any of the
authorities. Would it be appropriate for me to try to ping every relay
in the consensus to try to map its connectivity? I am concerned that it
is harming the network by breaking the assumption that every relay can
reach every other relay. But then again, I don't know how many relays it
is unable to reach.
