Re: [tor-relays] Why would consensus weight would be declining like this?



Good to know. I guess I will not shutdown underused relay just yet. A prepaid traffic allotment would be a terrible thing to waste! :-)

...

A fine research question. A lot of the questions from
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay
apply here too.

One theory is that it's a result of variance -- they're both relatively
small relays, so one stream that uses lots of bandwidth and randomly
happens to pick this relay could be enough to skew a few bandwidth tests,
pushing you down for a while.

In theory it should recover, since both relays are publishing similar
underlying self-measured bandwidths:

https://exonerator.torproject.org/serverdesc?desc-id=ec726fe88dbc60d18b3402fff2bace3564292546

But it might take quite some time to adjust, since the bandwidth
authorities don't measure very often.
