The description could do with being expanded. --- sbws is a Tor bandwidth scanner that produces bandwidth measurements files to be used by Directory Authorities in their votes. The scanner builds two hop circuits consisting of the relay being measured and a fast exit. Over these circuits it measures RTT and download performance. It is expected that this package will be used by directory authorities in the public Tor network, or in private test networks. This package is most likely not useful to the average relay operator or client. --- Thanks, Iain.
