Use something other than "known relay" to decide on rate in connection_or_update_token_buckets_helper() on authorities
On #tor-dev , Beeps says:
13:18 < Beeps> connection_or_update_token_buckets_helper() will not limit speed
if relay knows desc. You can upldoad desc to any auth. Before
limit speed you need protect all auths or limit speed for them.
5 of them are victims for cheaters for now.
In other words, anybody can get the higher limit from an authority by uploading a descriptor with their ID, whether they're really a relay or not. That's annoying.
One fix would be to change the behavior of connection_or_digest_is_known_relay to require that the relay be present in the consensus. (Would this hurt bandwidth measurement?)
