#22308: Consider resetting wfu/mtbf/tk values for relays when they switch IP addresses --------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: arma | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: 0.3.2.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+------------------------------------
Comment (by arma): Right, a relay needs to be (among other things) in the top half of relays by time-known, or they automatically qualify wrt time-known if their value is at least 8 days. But, it isn't *really* 8 days, because the time-known value for each relay decays over time. The comment next to it in the code says it's around 20 days, but I think that's probably wrong. You can see the various thresholds that each directory authority is using, from the flag-thresholds lines in their votes: https://www.seul.org/~arma/moria1-v3-status-votes There is some debugging of the time-known tracking in #19162, but I think it's safe to say there are some dragons there. But bigger picture, yes, it's a matter of days, not months. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22308#comment:5> 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
