Comment (by arma): Replying to [comment:23 nickm]: > That's 15/>9000 uploads, though? It seems like it might not matter a great deal then. I think we can also merge these patches now, and investigate how to fix the "version listed in consensus is quite old" bug before we actually change the published logic. Agreed? Alas, disagree. I think those "not specified" uploads represent a bug where some relays upload when they don't need to (i.e. they didn't mark their descriptor dirty in any way before uploading), and where nearly all of those uploads are discarded because they have only cosmetic changes. Here's the stat after 12.5 hours: {{{ $ grep "New descriptor post, because:" moria1-info|cut -d: -f5-|sort|uniq -c 1324 bandwidth has changed 279 config change 3 configured managed proxies 436 DirPort found reachable 2 dns resolvers back 2 IP address changed 3434 not listed in consensus 421560 not specified 1120 ORPort found reachable 674 rotated onion key 4003 time for new descriptor 868 version listed in consensus is quite old }}} And out of the "is quite old", we have {{{ $ grep -A1 "is quite old" moria1-info|grep "Added descriptor"|cut -d\' -f2-|sort|uniq -c|wc -l 426 }}} So 426 of our ~7300 relays stayed in the consensus in the last 12.5 hours because of this hack. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21642#comment:24> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
