Based on found numbers, some thoughts: * shouldn't there be more authority servers? DNS system has 13 root servers spread over the globe... * not all authority servers are equal: ** reported data varies greatly between servers https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-19-00.html#36EE8D47E570B8D5515460A9972F3CFD9EDFDFCE : maatuska=1400 <> gabelmoo=4060 ** some authorities vary greatly in reported data: https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-19-00.html#36EE8D47E570B8D5515460A9972F3CFD9EDFDFCE: gabelmoo=4060 https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health-2016-11-08-18-00.html#36EE8D47E570B8D5515460A9972F3CFD9EDFDFCE: gabelmoo=2110 * authority participating in consensus change, and with only few active (4-5) at a time, impact of a single authority on network is amplified
By having more servers * consensus would be more stable (low-median) * leading to more accurate assessment of nodes * and wider utilisation of the available nodes * leading to higher network throughput Does that sound plausible?
