But all is not well. . .

Gabelmoo just crashed the weight
for the relay here from 7150 to
945 in a single step.  No way
this is correct for a cleanly
running 9375 Mbyte/sec relay
with a 24-hour average load
of 2175 Mbyte/sec per Blutmagie
and 24-hour self measured peak
of 5165.  Peak easily runs
all the way to the maximum.
Have never seen such a low
value reported by an individual
BWauth.  Currently have

longclaw Bandwidth=5165 Measured=3250
gabelmoo Bandwidth=5165 Measured=945
maatuska Bandwidth=5165 Measured=9730
moria1   Bandwidth=5165 Measured=25400

Recently set BandwidthRate/Burst to
8906000 (95% of actual bandwidth)
per Mike Perry's 2009 research that
shows this prevents TorFlow circuits
from failing and prevents exponential
TCP backoff.
