Hi,
does the following also apply if a Tor users chooses to use a bridge?
- We do not choose more than one router in a given /16 subnet
[1]
Will tor ensure that the relays are not in the same /16 netblock with the bridge?
thanks, nusenu

Yes, as each node is added to the path, its IPv4 address is checked against the IPv4 /16 netblocks of the existing nodes in the path. This includes relays and bridges.
There is no support for checking IPv6 addresses yet: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24393 But when there is, we will check IPv6 /32s, for those nodes that have IPv6 addresses.

Does it check only against actively used ORPort IPv4 address or all ORPort IPs in the bridge descriptor when connecting to the bridge via IPv6?
example: - bridge has an IPv6 and IPv4 1.1.2.2 - exit has 1.1.2.3 - tor client connects to the bridge using IPv6
Will the client use that exit if it connects to the bridge via IPv6?
thanks, nusenu
