commit 36612b9bf8f432ccfc5fc637dd86463b84ab4882 Author: Roger Dingledine arma@torproject.org AuthorDate: Sun Feb 12 15:50:55 2023 -0500
vote AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr in consensus params
Directory authorities now include their AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr config option in the consensus parameter section of their vote. Now external tools can better predict how they will behave.
In particular, the value should make its way to the https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams page.
Once enough dir auths vote this param, they should also compute a consensus value for it in the consensus document. Nothing uses this consensus value yet, but we could imagine having dir auths consult it in the future.
