I don't think that short maintenance outages should significantly impact consensus weight. Bandwidth takes a little while to ramp back up because people need to build circuits through your relay again. Anyway, if you need to do maintenance, don't wait. The network benefits more from a secure, reliable relay with 5% less consensus weight. :-) _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
