#23863: When our directory guards don't have each others' microdescs, we should try an authority or fallback -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: teor | Owner: (none) Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Tor: | 0.3.2.x-final Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Tor: | 0.3.0.6 Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: tor-guard, tor-bridge, tor-client | Actual Points: Parent ID: #21969 | Points: 1 Reviewer: | Sponsor: -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Comment (by teor): Some more detailed design questions, after reviewing #23817: * what should we do when we are using bridges, or all the authorities and fallbacks are excluded by an EntryNodes setting? * should we fetch mds from a fallback or an authority over a 3-hop path? * is this what bridge clients do already, or do they give up when they can't get something from their bridge(s)? * if we are willing to fetch missing microdescs over a 3-hop path, can we make should_set_md_dirserver_restriction() always return 1? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23863#comment:11> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
