Hi all,
per reading [1], I see that there was significant discussion at tor-dev around the topic of bandwidth measurements. It was unclear to me what direction has been agreed on, or if anyone is leading this effort, so I wanted to add that:
I have been working with Donncha, Juga, Teor, and Linus to find and fix issues in the BwScanner codebase. As George K. indicates, I am time limited and interrupt driven so I've made little progress in resolving the "last few bugs" [2]
I do want to continue resolving these issues, and any help testing, reviewing pull requests or contributing patches would be awesome. I think it would also be very helpful for TPI to support this project with project management resources to keep things on track.
BwScanner is written in python using twisted, uses travis-ci for unit tests and integration testing with chutney. Development has been using the github tools to facilitate code reviews and testing, and has OK testing coverage and documentation.
