Why would consensus weight would be declining like this?
Declining dramatically https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/90743CFA1B93295B9334CC0C625D22990AABA2... vs https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/CC2F7C6ED12B67CB3882B98213E02DEF2CB822... that is holding steady
Anyone? Several days ago, both relays had roughly the same consensus weight. On 03/18/2014 05:02 PM, Tora Tora Tora wrote:

A fine research question. A lot of the questions from https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay apply here too. One theory is that it's a result of variance -- they're both relatively small relays, so one stream that uses lots of bandwidth and randomly happens to pick this relay could be enough to skew a few bandwidth tests, pushing you down for a while. In theory it should recover, since both relays are publishing similar underlying self-measured bandwidths: https://exonerator.torproject.org/serverdesc?desc-id=825feea5d643a228e121d0f... https://exonerator.torproject.org/serverdesc?desc-id=ec726fe88dbc60d18b3402f... But it might take quite some time to adjust, since the bandwidth authorities don't measure very often. --Roger
Good to know. I guess I will not shutdown underused relay just yet. A prepaid traffic allotment would be a terrible thing to waste! :-) ...
