Recent network oddities

There have been a lot of recent network oddities that concern me somewhat.

Since Apr 14th all four relays that I own or operate have seen significantly more send data than receive. There is always a little discrepancy, especially for HSDIR flagged relays, but this has been significant.

Additionally all relay data is missing for all relays from the 20th at 1400Z to the 21st at 0600Z. As far as I can tell, the entire tor network could have been down between those times.

And looking at consensus health I see that four of the six bandwidth authorities are currently down.

Is there some sort of concerted attack on the infrastructure right now?

When I looked yesterday shortly after your post only dizum (1) was down on metrics. Where did you spot more authorities down?

Yes, three came back shortly after the post. They showed down on the main consensus health: http://tkskz5dkjel4xqyw5d5l3k52kgglotwn6vgb5wrl2oa5yi2szvywiyid.onion/consensus-health.html

Only two bwauths were showing for a while. There is still a hole in the relay data for every relay from 20th at 1400Z to the 21st at 0600Z and I’m still seeing odd upload/download disparities on most of my relays. It’s more in and out now, but still there.

There just seemed to be a lot of oddities all at once.
