Comment (by leeroy):

 Karsten, are you sure we're talking about the same ff member data? Why
 would GSON be setting it? That's the task of metrics-lib not GSON. GSON is
 used to construct the JSON response isn't it?

 The cardinality of effective_family for the relay should be 4.

 If it's working, Onionoo's view is ideal. The tor client uses family as a
 hint for path selection. Meaning, assuming you have exactly these latest
 descriptors, and your client can connect to all the relay, the path
 selection builds bi-directional relationships for you during circuit build
 time. So no, in general, it doesn't.
