Hi,

So upon checking my relay status at torstatus.blutimage.de, I saw

Number of Routers In Cache:

Number of Descriptors In Cache:

I wanted to double check, what is the difference between “Number of Routers” and “Number of Descriptors”?

I know Number of Routers means number of relays currently running.

Thank you.
