Network Health OKRs 2022 Q1-Q2 (Metrics excluded)

This milestone is used to track our network health OKR progress for Q1/Q2 2022. Metrics has a separate milestone to track the OKR work in that area.

Objective 1: Reduce the amount of malicious relays in the network

K1: Rust-based tool (margot) is used for daily bad relay work

K2: A blog post about bad-relay work is written

K3: The large attacker we kicked out at the end of 2021 is analyzed

Objective 2: Improve the health of relays

K1: Overload data we collected so far is analyzed and identified problems addressed

K2: Proposal for rebuilding the metrics website is written

K3: Exitmap for reachability testing of exit relays is deployed

Objective 3: Improve the health of the network

K1: Onbasca (sbws2) is on one of the bandwidth authorities deployed

K2: Rob's relay flooding experiments done in 2021 are analyzed

K3: Relays still on 0.3.5.x are either upgraded or removed from the network

K4: Faster relays are better measured

K5: sbws 1.4.0 is released

K6: Bridges running EOL Tor 0.4.x versions are removed from the network

Result: When moving over work to the Q3/Q4 milestone this milestone we had 72% of it done and spent 118h 45m while estimating 125h.
