commit 6757261e8f8b8b2f79a07122a2324654d5fbb1b9 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Fri May 11 12:09:00 2012 -0400 Raise thresholds for declaring bootstrapping complete. This patch changes the total serverdesc threshold from 25% to 75% and the exit threshold from 33% to 50%. The goal is to make initially constructed circuits less horrible, and to make initial less awful (since fetching directory information in parallel with whatever the user is trying to do can hurt their performance). Implements ticket 3196. --- changes/bug3196 | 7 +++++++ src/or/routerlist.c | 11 +++++++++-- 2 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/changes/bug3196 b/changes/bug3196 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9321022 --- /dev/null +++ b/changes/bug3196 @@ -0,0 +1,7 @@ + o Minor features: + - Raise the threshold of server descriptors needed (75%) and exit + server descriptors needed (50%) before we will declare ourselves + bootstrapped.
