Replying to [comment:5 teor]:
> I often use n-th fastest to work out the fastest relay(s) over time.
Assuming we keep the parameter for n-th fastest, you'd still learn the
n-th fastest relay by consensus weight, just not by advertised bandwidth.
Depending on how you define how fast a relay is, this would still be
possible with the new graph.
> I expect to use n-th fastest a bit while developing PrivCount to answer
questions like:
> * what's the highest bandwidth?
After the suggested change you'd have to look at descriptors yourself for
this. However, this particular question is relatively easy: just grep for
`bandwidth` lines and compute the maximum advertised bandwidth.
> * what do we get if we aggregate the top N relays?
This question would require some more code. However, it's also not
immediately answered by the Tor Metrics graphs, except maybe for N < 4.
> * what's the minimum relay count and consensus weight we should require
to create an aggregate total?
> (we can't have a bandwidth requirement, because we don't know the
bandwidth until *after* we aggregate)
This is another question that would probably require you to write code
yourself.
In conclusion, the suggested graph would answer your questions just as
well as the current graphs, right?
