> (Except the bandwidth weighting stuff -- either Tor chooses from all of
them equally because it doesn't have any descriptors at the time it
chooses which one will go into the state file first, or it does have the
descriptors so it weights by the self-advertised bandwidths in the
descriptors. I'd have to check, but my guess would be the former. Still, I
think that is better solved inside Tor, where Tor Browser's job would be
to add a weight to the bridge line.)
So you mean we would add a parameter to bridge lines that specifies
weight? Or another optional line underneath it like
{{{
Bridge 1.2.3.4:5555 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
BridgeWeight 8
Bridge 5.6.7.8:4545 f0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456
BridgeWeight 2
}}}
Changing the bridge lines once we're taking PTs into account starts to get
super uglyâ I think if we're going this route we'd need to add something
like the BridgeWeight lines.
