Comment (by cohosh):

 Replying to [comment:4 cypherpunks]:
 > @cohosh: what do you think about #31661 as a solution to the throughput
 problem?

 Thanks for the idea cypherpunks. Running more than one snowflake bridge
 and having the broker tell snowflake proxies which bridge to use is
 definitely something we're considering. An idea like #31661 to base this
 decision roughly on location is interesting. It's going to take a while to
 consider this proposal (and to work out the logistics of setting up more
 than one snowflake bridge at all) and in the meantime this ticket is about
 getting some more concrete data on what the main reasons for high latency
 or low throughput are.

 If you've written some scripts to measure throughput or latency of
 snowflakes and correlate this with geoip data and are willing to share
 them, please do! We really appreciate these insights.
