Why do we call this the third problem rather than the number one problem? Just adding more capacity to the network isn’t going to solve the performance problem.
Traffic. We measure total available bandwidth and current capacity by aggregating what relays and bridges report to directory authorities. Total relay bandwidth; Advertised and co
