 Are there too many bandwidth scanners and servers in the same area
 (western Europe / eastern North America) ?

 Are the bandwidth scanners and servers too close together?
 (If they are in the same data center, then any 2 relays that are in the
 same data center will get unrealistic results.)

 There could also be specific bugs in sbws (#33350) or torflow
 (unmaintained).
