 From proposal236:
 {{{
    From dir-spec.txt:
       "Guard" -- A router is a possible 'Guard' if its Weighted Fractional
        Uptime is at least the median for "familiar" active routers, and if
        its bandwidth is at least median or at least 250KB/s.

    When this proposal becomes effective, authorities should change the
    bandwidth threshold for being a guard node to 2000KB/s instead of
    250KB/s.
