[tor-talk] About bandwidth weights selection

Hello, The following is the default Tor network in shadow simulator: Total BW of Guard flagged nodes=258.15 MB/S Total BW of Middle nodes=23.69 MB/S Total BW of Exit flagged nodes=13.23 MB/S Total BW of Guard+Exit flagged nodes=213.4 MB/S Now, I inserted 40 guard nodes and 40 exit nodes, each of
