+
+## What changed?
+
+We are running wide-scale measurements of latencies between relays on the
+Tor network for an estimated 1-2 months (using many short-lived circuits which
+will carry a very small amount of traffic).
+
+More details and updates [available online] and on the [tor-relays@ email list].

+
+## When did it start?
+
+Around 2021-06-10 16:00:00 UTC.
+
+## When did it stop?
+
+It is still ongoing.
+
+## What potential problems to look for, and how to report them?
+
+Relays may notice an elevated number of short-lived circuits created and
+destroyed (we will spread this load over a few hours/days for any individual
+relay). Be alert for an abnormal number of circuits causing availability issues.
+
+If you think something has gone wrong with the experiment, please contact the
+experiment team: `shortor AT csail.mit.edu` or write a follow-up to the
+tor-relays@ announcement mail mentioned above.
