[tor-relays] Consensus Weight Dropping/Authority Issues?

[John Ricketts]

Totally agree with your analysis on this- my concern is that if that were true I'd see Nifty's 15 percent drop like a rock too...  and drop from 7-8gbit/sec to 2-3gb/sec is weird.

You'd think that I'd be saturated.  I've been running these nodes approximately three years and I've never seen this.

consensus means what fraction of traffic will pass over your nodes, statistically speaking.
Hence a steady drop of consensus value, with no infra changes on your end, could also be explained by a stead rise of total bandwidth available: since your part is fixed and total grows, your fraction reduces.

Hello,

I have been watching the consensus weight and bandwidth of all of my 50 exit nodes drop consistently over the past few months. I have not made any hardware changes in my data center and actual customers have not complained about any performance issues.

Operating systems and Tor version are up to date. I'm dedicating a significant portion of bandwidth to these nodes - 10gbit/sec.

Am I having issues with the bandwidth authorities?

I'm growing frustrated with my performance to resources ratio, I should be doing far better than this.

Please throw ideas at me - open to any ideas.

Thanks!
