This is a little write-up on the quality of data connections involving
nodes, and some thoughts on that. So, as of today, the quality of nodes
is determined by their bandwidth, uptime, and not being malicious. There
are two major missing factors from this, and I wanted to bounce some
ideas arou

of potentially useful and perhaps
not overly difficult BWauth
enhancement--perhaps worth
considering as part of ongoing
efforts to rework the BWauth
scripts.

I once ran a node on a college network for just a few weeks. Then I
found out at peak hours, packet loss was >90%. My measured bandwidth
never reflected that. Now, scale that up. An enemy makes a ton of nodes
like that, and now has a large portion of circuit going through them.
That will crippl
