It's a measure of the stability of your relay. A MTBF is an average time
before your relay is next expected to fail, based on its past failures.

For more details, see:

If your IPv6 address becomes unreachable, that counts as a failure. I don't
have exact data, but it does seem that the IPv6 authorities think your relay
has a lower stability.
