Hello,
In the paper,
"Zhen Ling; Junzhou Luo; Wei Yu; Ming Yang; Xinwen Fu, "Extensive analysis and large-scale empirical evaluation of tor bridge discovery," *INFOCOM, 2012 Proceedings IEEE* , vol., no., pp.2381,2389, 25-30 March 2012",
the author has mentioned about Bandwidth Weighted Node selection algorithm. He has mentioned about bandwidth weights WG and WE, responsible for node selection.
But in the Tor directory protocol version 3, there is no such mention of these weights but rather there are other weights such as Wgg, Wee, etc.
Can anybody please elaborate on this?
See 3.8.3 of dir-spec.txt and 2.2 of path-spec.txt: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/master:/dir-spec.txt#l2163 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/master:/path-spec.txt#l184
Most probably the WG and WE shorthand was to refer to all Wg* and We* weights (ie Wgg and Wgd, and Wed and Wee).
