I am planning on performing an experiment on the Tor network to try to gauge the accuracy of the advertised bandwidths that relays report in their server descriptors.

Hi,

does this by any chance caused the lost of the "guard" flag ? Observed here now 2 times for 2 relays running at the same ip [1] and [2] within the last few days.

Yes, changing other relays' bandwidths can affect the Guard flag, because Guard is given to the fastest, most stable relays.
