I believe that most places actually use the below function however: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/networkstatus.c#n1041 When I was talking with many of the DirAuths in Valencia, they said that a 24-hour outage was necessary for the consensus to be well and truly out of date. I pointed out that wasn't what the consensus said, but they insisted, and then I found this code. >> Page 113: >> I think there are 3 relays between the client and introduction point, not 2. >> In new_route_len(), each circuit with an endpoint chosen by another relay >> gets an extra hop, and the hidden service chooses the introduction point, >> not the client. >> >> I could be wrong about this - the path code has a few special cases that I >> haven't quite got my head around. > > Yes you are right.
