What could have cause such big > discrepancy in my particular case, any ideas? It could be something about this. Another bridge just started to get fair usage (say 60 - 80 unique clients every 6 hour or so) and it got measured from slightly over 50 KiB/s to ~4 MiB/s which is actually closer to the reality. The rest of unused bridges by clients still are reported as ~50 KiB/s which is very low. > > Also, do we use the weight of each bridge in order to determine how much > % probability it has to be served to a request in the bucket that is > part of, or we don't use bridge weights for anything at all? > > Thanks! >
