After reading a number of questions and resources on bandwidth measurements and life cycle of tor relays:

can anyone tell me about the bandwidth weights?

Can anybody explain the Advertised bandwidth, MaxAdvertisedBandwidth, Measured bandwidth, Bandwidth burst, RelayBandwidth rate?

http://fscked.org/talks/TorFlow-HotPETS-final.pdf

and the bandwidth weight specification:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#2454

I am still not sure how bandwidth measurement is performed (from an implementation standpoint) by the bandwidth authorities. I have also found a library, stem, that queries authorities and retrieves their measurement results.

Where should I look in the sources to find the code responsible for bandwidth measurement?

I am using version 0.2.8.0-alpha-dev (git-d015c70a118e4357). Grepping around the code for strings such as bandwidth, measurement, bw does not seem very lucrative(all results rely on handling consenus information).
