Comment (by infinity0):

 Replying to [comment:1 asn]:
 > - (..) We will need to pass multiple bridges [to facilitators] in the
 future, so we might want to use a config file, where we put our bridges
 and annotate them with the transports they support. Possible example of
 such a config file:
 > {{{
 > websocket 1.2.3.4:5555
 > webrtc 1.2.3.4:6555
 > obfs2-websocket 1.2.3.5:5555
 > }}}

 This might not scale well, since each bridge will need to distribute this
 information to every facilitator. Is there any way we can have the
 facilitator read this information from the bridge instead? From pt-
 spec.txt:

 {{{
  363   Bridges use transport lines in their extra-info documents to
  364   advertise their pluggable transports:
  365
  366      transport SP <transportname> SP <address:port> [SP arglist] NL
 }}}

 Is the facilitator able to read this information?
