[tor-relays] bandwidth scanner status ?

[Mike Perry]

Thus spake Sebastian Urbach (sebastian at urbach.org):

PID feedback has been off since I last notified the list about
shutting it off, on Dec 19th.

Some consensus params have changed due to dirauth instability, consensus
method chnge, and confusion. In particular, the bwauthpid=1 param was
explicitly set and unset a few times, and then set again, but the bw
auths remained in their former "Section 2 compatible" mode of
operation because no other feedback params were set for the duration.

See
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torflow.git/blob/HEAD:/NetworkScanners/BwAuthority/README.spec.txt#l477
for more info on the consensus params that alter bw auth behavior, and
please read the rest of the spec if you're interested in getting more
involved.
