Document MaxAdvertisedBandwidth in the bandwidth list spec
I've set MaxAdvertisedBandwidth to 100 KB (though RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst are set to 128 KB and 153 KB, respectively). Accordingly, the relay does not advertise any bandwidth higher than 100 KB. However, the consensus is reporting greater bandwidth:

p reject 1-65535
The bandwidth line from the descriptor looks like:
bandwidth 102400 156672 155648My understanding is that clients use the consensus bandwidth measurement to weigh which paths to choose (correct me if I'm wrong). If this is true, then the consensus should not report bandwidth greater than MaxAdvertisedBandwidth. Perhaps the consensus should never show bandwidth greater than a relay's chosen RelayBandwidthRate?
