Comment(by atagar):
Advertised bandwidth has a specific meaning (see MaxAdvertisedBandwidth in
tor's man page). I expect you mean the bandwidth value on 'w' lines
provided by the bandwidth authorities in the consensus? If so then that is
purely a heuristic. It does not have any actual units, it's just a number
used for weighing relay selection. I strongly suspect adding it to the
dashboard would confuse users.
