Comment (by asn):

 (FWIW, [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 project/2017-October/001492.html this has also been a finding of dawuud
 months ago] , where he scanned the Tor network for partitions and he found
 that many high bw relays cannot contact other high bw relays. I guess he
 tried a single circuit build between those relays, so basically his
 findings are isomorphic to the ones from nusenu.)
