Hi,
last night the log of one of my nodes showed within 2 minutes about 160 of these messages. Traffic stats show that the incoming bandwidth increased from the average of 300 Mbit/s to more than 400 Mbit/s, where at the same time outgoing traffic dropped. From the peak I see, the requests must have been really big. Does anyone noticed this on other tor servers too?
Regards,
Klaus
Hi,
I want to ask for an status update regarding the bandwidth scanner project. It's been 3 weeks or so since we last heard anything.
Are you still alive Mike ?

PID feedback has been off since I last notified the list about shutting it off, on Dec 19th.
Some consensus params have changed due to dirauth instability, consensus method chnge, and confusion. In particular, the bwauthpid=1 param was explicitly set and unset a few times, and then set again, but the bw auths remained in their former "Section 2 compatible" mode of operation because no other feedback params were set for the duration.
See https://gitweb.torproject.org/torflow.git/blob/HEAD:/NetworkScanners/BwAutho... for more info on the consensus params that alter bw auth behavior, and please read the rest of the spec if you're interested in getting more involved.
