Re: [tor-dev] How about capping single operators to max. 10% exit capacity of the network?

teor:

Automatic limits are also a denial of service risk for the entire network.

If we implement them poorly, they could cause a cascade effect that pushes clients onto overloaded relays until they go down.

For that reason alone, I'm not convinced this is a good idea.

That is indeed a good point. I agree that relative caps would be dangerous in that regard.

Absolute single relay cw caps do not have that problem and would prevent insane cw values like >800000.

I'll setup automatic notifications if certain thresholds are reached.

thanks for your feedback, nusenu
