Suggestion: choosing fast quality exits for measurment
Created by: binnacle
In one of the SBWS meeting chats the idea of measuring relays by pairing them with picks from a pool of fast relays was floated. I like the idea and have a suggestion:
For the fast measurement exit pool, require that relays also be guard-flagged. Guard+Exit relays are much faster and more reliable than Exit-Only relays. About 400 Guard+Exit relays are present with an average bandwidth of about 15MB/sec. An equal number of Exit-only relays exist with a much lower bandwidth average of 4MB/sec.
