Not getting the Fast flag is because your consensus weight is quite low, which in turn is because the bwauths think you are underperforming compared to other relays that advertise a similar speed:
$ grep -A5 103.174.51.65 v3-status-votes|grep ^w w Bandwidth=698 Measured=230 w Bandwidth=698 w Bandwidth=698 w Bandwidth=698 w Bandwidth=698 Measured=81 w Bandwidth=698 w Bandwidth=698 Measured=120 w Bandwidth=698 Measured=64 w Bandwidth=698 Measured=72
So, I don't know why it might have dropped off a cliff all at once, but that would certainly explain a drop over the course of an hour.
Since you're right around the threshold for Fast, I wouldn't be surprised if you wobble back and forth between being Fast (and getting some traffic) and not being Fast (and getting basically no traffic).
You're right, that was the issue. I know it's in SEA and that's pretty far from any bwauth, but it should not be estimating mere kB/s when the international connectivity is good: iperf3 Network Speed Tests (IPv4): - --------------------------------- Provider | Location (Link) | Send Speed | Recv Speed | Ping - ----- | ----- | ---- | ---- | ---- Clouvider | London, UK (10G) | busy | busy | 172 ms Eranium | Amsterdam, NL (100G) | 86.8 Mbits/sec | 159 Mbits/sec | 175 ms Uztelecom | Tashkent, UZ (10G) | 109 Mbits/sec | 106 Mbits/sec | 170 ms Leaseweb | Singapore, SG (10G) | 169 Mbits/sec | 152 Mbits/sec | 47.6 ms Clouvider | Los Angeles, CA, US (10G) | 103 Mbits/sec | 112 Mbits/sec | 234 ms Leaseweb | NYC, NY, US (10G) | 74.2 Mbits/sec | 113 Mbits/sec | 286 ms Edgoo | Sao Paulo, BR (1G) | 57.4 Mbits/sec | 64.3 Mbits/sec | 314 ms What could be causing such a large discrepency between measurements from bwauths and any other measurement from the same location? I'm aware that the bwauths are mostly centered in Eastern USA and Western Europe and so will be biased against distant locations, but what the bwauths report is not even accurate, even when accounting for the distance. Why would each bwauth in Germany show under 3 Mbps but an iperf3 server just 20 ms away in the Netherlands shows 159 Mbps? The international connectivity is really not _that_ bad. So what's going wrong here and how to I fix it?
