[tor-relays] publish current AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr limit?

Hi,

would it be possible to publish
the currently enforced value of AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr
on some tpo website? Maybe consensus-health.tpo?

kind regards,
nusenu

Hi nusenu,

that's a bit hard to do automatically, as the value is currently not
exported by the dirauths. We'd need a feature to include the value in
the votes, then it could be displayed. Not sure if the network team
would work on such a feature, I'd be in favor.

Thanks
Sebastian

Good idea. I've implemented it in my ```ticket40753``` branch,
described here:

moria1 is including its AuthDirMaxServersPerAddr value in the
consensus params section of its vote, which makes its way to this
webpage:
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams

I'm not sure if this is the best possible design (we're sort of
blurring the line between what is a ConsensusParam and what isn't),
but it should be an easy and safe change at least. :slight_smile:

nusenu: note that once enough dir auths vote this param, they will
compute a 'consensus' value for it in put that value in the consensus,
but nothing actually looks at or uses that consensus value.
