<div>Just thoughts: To throttle how about assign twisted consensus weight to outdated versions? Highest consensus
weight to slowest relays and vice versa? Wouldnt they overload/throttle themselfes nicely?

<div>Would be interesting to have an outdate-consensus handling deprecated relays just for statistics or maybe also to
set them all to flagged as bad or throttle them somehow?

<div>My relay says it receives about 50k v1/v2/v3

connections each day to the 60k v4

connections that come in.

"Entry-ips" says it has about 35k guard-
<br />
clients. Blutmagie says there are no
<br />
pre-0.2.4 relays talking anything other
<br />
than v4.
<br />
<br />
So I'm left thinking that 95% or more of the
<br />
bandwidth consumption and client count is from
<br />
crusty old botnet bots running ancient versions
<br />
of the Tor daemon.
<br />
<br />
But all that bot traffic creates a lot
<br />
of statistical "background noise," and
<br />
so may be providing a service in making
<br />
it more difficult for advanced adversaries
<br />
to perform traffic correlation analysis.
<br />
<br />
Thoughts anyone?
