commit a57c07b21098da4a97d586ffdedca71babe4daaa Author: Roger Dingledine arma@torproject.org Date: Thu Jul 24 00:35:47 2014 -0400
Raise guard threshold to top 25% or 2000 kilounits
Authorities now assign the Guard flag to the fastest 25% of the network (it used to be the fastest 50%). Also raise the consensus weight that guarantees the Guard flag from 250 to 2000. For the current network, this results in about 1100 guards, down from 2500. This step paves the way for moving the number of entry guards down to 1 (proposal 236) while still providing reasonable expected performance for most users.
