[tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

[Greg Moss]

Nothing logical about it. Thats all you get with shitty connection

OK thanks, this is beginning to sound logical. What you are saying -
correct me if I am wrong - is that since 3 DirAuths gave me fast/hsdir
flags while the other 5 didn't and gave me poor weight, you believe that my
connectivity with the 5 auths is poor and this is the source of my trouble.

If you are right then there is no problem with my relay, no problem with my
ISP, and there is a problem somewhere between the countries, and this
problem hits specifically my relay. This last piece does not make sense to
me but who knows...

No, sorry, I explained poorly:

Your maximum bandwidth is as expected for a middle relay with a similar
config. The relay flags are as expected.

Your measured bandwidth is not, and indicates an issue with your relay's
connectivity to the bandwidth authorities (5 tor clients/relays spread
around Europe and North America).

Until you fix this issue, your relay will continue to be measured low,
because it can not sustain the traffic the tor network needs.

It has nothing to do with your IP address changing.

Also, it's probably worth mentioning that the Tor network prioritises
*client* bandwidth, latency, and security. There are engineering trade-offs
between these factors.

Using all available relay bandwidth is not a priority: we will happily use
less bandwidth to provide better latency or better security.
