Comment(by robgjansen):
Replying to [comment:18 gsathya]:
> I also have Rob's entropy calculation based on the probability that a
country might be chosen(bw of all relays in a particular country/total bw
of all relays of all countries), but I have no idea what to call it. Also,
should this be 1 value per consensus or 1 value per country per consensus?
Let p_i be the bw of all relays in country i
Compute this for all countries i
Let s be the total bandwidth of all relays
The entropy of this particular consensus is then computed as:
- ( sum_(all i) p_i log_2 (p_i) )
[note there is a negative sign in front of the sum]
You could call this the diversity of a consensus in the face of a national
level adversary. Does this make sense?
