Hi juga,
I read your meeting notes from this week's network team meeting:
juga(offline): Week of 05/20 (planned) - Add Tor version to the bandwidth file (#30196) Week of 05/20 (actual) Week of 06/03 (plan) - Continue with #30406: Refactor header constants in sbws to use Stem's one
For the next few weeks, can you focus on fixing critical sbws bugs, and helping with authority deployments?
Here's what I think we could do:
I would like us to deploy sbws to 3/6 bandwidth authorities some time in June. We can do this deployment as soon as another directory authority operator is ready.
To deploy more than 3 sbws instances, we need to fix these critical sbws bugs:
We need sbws to generate bandwidth lines for all relays with results, even if they are not Running in the sbws tor client's current consensus. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29710#comment:13
We need sbws to use MaxAdvertisedBandwidth from the latest descriptors: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30733
We also need to look for any more critical bugs in sbws. Here are some ways we can check for bugs:
We need to check if all sbws instances exclude some relays, to help us find any more bugs in sbws: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30735
90% of sbws measurement attempts fail. But these are internal errors, not network errors. So it looks like sbws has a relay selection bug: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30719#comment:2
After we do these tasks, we can deploy sbws to 4 bandwidth authorities.
What do you think?
