Glossary¶
- One of the trusted entities in the Tor network. Calculates a consensus with the other directory authorities about what relays are running and much much more.
- A directory authority that measures and votes about Tor relay bandwidths. In the context of sbws, it performs measurements with sbws scanner and creates v3bw files periodically with sbws generate
- sbws scanner
- The sbws command that a bandwidth authority runs continuously to gather information about how fast Tor relays are. The results from this process are used by sbws generate to generate v3bw files.
- sbws generate
- The sbws command that a bandwidth authority runs periodically to generate a new v3bw file from results gathered by sbws scanner.
- v3bw file
- The file generated by sbws generate that a bandwidth authority reads to vote about how fast relays are.
