+## Mixnet: Node Performance Calculation
+
+Performance is a value between `0` and `1`. The final performance number is a result of multiplying [config score](#config-score-calculation) and [routing score](#routing-score-calculation).
+
+<Callout type="info" emoji="📌">
+> **node_performance = config_score \* routing_score**
+</Callout>
+
+Performance value is an average of last 24h.
+
+<Callout>
+All parameters regarding performance score can be browsed or pull live from:
+
+`https://validator.nymtech.net/api/v1/nym-nodes/annotation/<NODE_ID>`
+
+In case you don't know your nodes `NODE_ID`, it's easy to find as long as your node is bonded. Visit [validator.nymtech.net/api/v1/nym-nodes/bonded](https://validator.nymtech.net/api/v1/nym-nodes/bonded) and search your node using `identity_key` or bonding Nyx account address (denoted as `owner`).
+</Callout>
+
+### Config Score Calculation
+
+Config score is in place to ensure that the node configuration is done properly so the node is eligible for taking part in Nym network. The API looks into these paramteres:
+
+1. If the node binary is `nym-node` (not legacy `nym-mixnode` or `nym-gateway`): `1` if `True`, `0` if `False`
+2. If [Terms & Conditions](/operators/nodes/nym-node/setup.mdx#terms--conditions) are accepted: `1` if `True`, `0` if `False`
+3. If the nodes self described endpoint is available: `1` if `True`, `0` if `False`
+4. Version of `nym-node` binary: decreasing weight for outdated versions, as [explained below](#versions-behind-calculation)
+
+**The `config_score` calculation formula:**
+
+<Callout type="info" emoji="📌">
+> **config_score = is_tc_accepted \* is_nym-node_binary \* self_described_api_available \* ( 0.995 ^ ( ( X * versions_behind) ^ 1.65 ) )**
+</Callout>
+
+First three points have binary values of either `0` or `1`, with a following logic:
+
+| **Run `nym-node` binary** | **T&C's accepted** | **Self described available** | **Value** |
+| :--                       | :--                | :--                          | ---:      |
+| **True**                  | **True**           | **True**                     | **1**     |
+| True                      | False              | False                        | 0         |
+| True                      | True               | False                        | 0         |
+| False                     | True               | True                         | 0         |
+| False                     | False              | True                         | 0         |
+| True                      | False              | True                         | 0         |
+| False                     | False              | False                        | 0         |
+| False                     | True               | False                        | 0         |
+
+**Only if ALL conditions above are `True` the node can have any chance to be selected, as otherwise the probability will always be 0.**
+
+<Callout type="info" emoji="ℹ️">
+Besides these values, the API also checks whether the node is bonded in Mixnet smart contract as a Nym Node or legacy node (Mixnode or Gateway). **Only nodes bonded as Nym Node in Mixnet smart contract can be selected to the Rewrded set. Thus, if you haven't migrated your node yet, please [follow these steps](/operators/nodes/nym-node/bonding#migrate-to-nym-node-in-mixnet-smart-contract)!**
+</ Callout>
+
+#### Versions Behind Calculation
+
+From release `2024.14-crunch` (`nym-node v1.2.0`), the `config_score` parameter takes into account also nodes version (denoted as `versions_behind`). The "current version" is the one marked as `Latest` in the [repository](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases/). The parameter `versions_behind` indicates the number of versions between the `Latest` version and the version run by the node, and it is factored into the config score with this formula:
+
+<Callout type="info" emoji="📌">
+> **0.995 ^ ( ( X * versions_behind ) ^ 1.65 )**
+>
+> where: <br />
+> **X = 1;       for patches** <br />
+> **X = 10;      for minor versions** <br />
+> **X = 100;     for major versions**
+</Callout>
+
+> The exact parameters are live accessible on [`/v1/status/config-score-details`](https://validator.nymtech.net/api/swagger/index.html#/Status/config_score_details).
+
+Our versioning convention is: `major_version . minor_version . patch`
+
+For example `nym-node` on version `1.2.0` is on 1st major version, 2nd minor and 0 patches.
+
+Note that the `X` multiplier heavily lowers the `config_score` when nodes are outdated with respect to more significant updates. See the the table and graph below:
+
+| **Version behind**  | **Patches (X = 1)** | **Minor versions (X = 10)** | **Major versions (X = 100)** |
+| :--                 | --:       | --: | --: |
+| 0 (current version) | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
+| 1 | 0.995 | 0.7994 | 0.0000 |
+| 2 | 0.9844 | 0.4953 | 0.0000 |
+| 3 | 0.9698 | 0.2536 | 0.0000 |
+| 4 | 0.9518 | 0.1102 | 0.0000 |
+| 5 | 0.9311 | 0.0413 | 0.0000 |
+
+
+![](/images/operators/tokenomics/reward_version_graph.png)
+
+As you can see above, the algorithm is designed to give maximum selection score (`1`) to the latest version, while non-upgraded nodes receive a lower score. The score decreases faster when the node has failed to make a major version upgrade, and slower when the node is behind only with minor updates. This scoring de-prioritizes the selection of outdated nodes, even if their saturation and performance are high. Nodes are selected probabilistically in each epoch (60 min), according to their scores, to be part of the Rewarded set. This scoring mechanism gives priority to the operators running up-to-date nodes, ensuring that the network is as updated as possible.
+
+### Routing Score Calculation
+
+Routing score is measured by Nym Network Monitor which sends thousands of packages through different routes every 15 minutes and measures how many were dropped on the way. Test result represents percentage of packets succesfully returned which are then converted into floats bettween `0` and `1`.

+When we say *Exit Gateway* in connection to Wireguard, we talk about a `nym-node` running in a mode Exit Gateway (`--mode exit-gateway`) with Wireguard enabled. Such node is listed in [NymVPN application](https://nym.com) as an Exit Gateway and an Entry Gateway for both dVPN (2-hop) and Mixnet (5-hop) options. That's because every Exit Gateway can serve as an Entry, not vice versa for Mixnet and every Gateway with Wireguard enabled option (`--wireguard-enabled true`) can always serve as both Entry and Exit for dVPN (provided that they are correctly [configured](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration)).

+
+### Summary
+
+A simplified explanation of node performance measuring is that the [Node Status API](https://node-status.nym.com) runs [gateway probes](/operators/performance-and-testing/gateway-probe) that connect to gateways to:
+
+- Check the configuration of gateways
+  - Checks a list of capabilities (e.g. can route IPv4 traffic in mixnet mode)
+  - Checks a list of configuration (e.g. runs <abbr title={IPR}>IPR</abbr>, has exit policy)
+- Acts like a user:
+  - Registers a mixnet client
+  - Registers a wireguard peer and tops up bandwidth with a zk-nym
+  - Sends <abbr title={ICMP}>ICMP</abbr> ping packets
+  - Downloads files
+
+The results are collected and stored in the [Node Status API](https://node-status.nym.com) and can be also veiwed per node in [Node Status Observatory](https://harbourmaster.nymtech.net).
+
+The [NymVPN API directory](https://nymvpn.com/api/public/v1/directory/gateways) cache uses the output of the gateway probes to calculate and display hints to users about the contention on each gateway and what they might expect if they use the gateway. The section [*Gateway Roles & Requirements* below](#gateway-roles--requirements) explains how are these stats measured and what is their significance.

+
+A load indicator based on ping success
+
+- <Green>Low</Green>: `> 80%` ping success (low load)
+- <Yellow>Medium</Yellow>: `> 40%` ping success (medium load)
+- <Red>High</Red>: `≤ 40%` ping success (node under stress, high load)
+
+###### 3. Uptime:
+
+A routing score of Mixnet (5-hop) is indicated this way:
+- <Green>High</Green>: `> 80%` mixnet packet delivery success
+- <Yellow>Medium</Yellow>: `> 60%` mixnet packet delivery success
+- <Red>Low</Red>: `> 10%` mixnet packet delivery success
+- <Gray>Offline</Gray>: `≤ 10%` mixnet packet delivery success
+
+</Steps>
+
+Note that there are caches in place to keep various dept of details to provide info for different pieces of the software. Their timing differs and it can lead to small discrepancies of outcome in between multiple clients observed by users at the same time.
+
+See the [*Gateway Roles & Requirements*](#gateway-roles--requirements) to understand how these stats get measured.

+
+### Gateway Roles & Requirements
+
+A node configuration break down coming alongside basic [server configuration](/operators/nodes/preliminary-steps/vps-setup) required for the nodes in specific roles:
+
+- **Entry Gateway - Mixnet:**
+    - Node configured (running with `--mode` argument) as `entry-gateway` or `exit-gateway` (as Exit works as Entry too)
+    - `WS/WSS` ports (9000/9001) accessible
+    - [IPv6 configured](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quick-ipv6-check)
+- **Exit Gateway - Mixnet:**
+    - Node configured (running with `--mode` argument) as `exit-gateway`, that configuration ensures that:
+        - <abbr title={IPR}>IPR</abbr> address present
+        - NR address present
+    - [IPv6 configured](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quick-ipv6-check)
+    - NymTun configured - using [NetworkTunnelManager](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#routing-configuration)
+
+- **Entry & Exit Gateway - dVPN (WireGuard mode):**
+    - Node configured as Wireguard node: `--wireguard-enabled true`
+    - Authenticator address present
+    - NymWG configured - using [NetworkTunnelManager](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#routing-configuration)
+    - [Metadata port open for WG](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#fixing-metadata-port-showing-not-open-in-probe-results)
+    - Wireguard exit policy [configured](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#wireguard-exit-policy-configuration)
+    - [IPv6 configured](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quick-ipv6-check)
+    - Recommended: [QUIC bridge setup](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quic-transport-bridge-deployment)
+
+### How Probe Works
+
+Nym Gateway probe is perfomance measurement program running tests through various routes. Operators can run their [local instance of Gateway probe](/operators/performance-and-testing/gateway-probe) or use visit of our dashboards to conveniently see probe results.
+
+- [Node Status dashboard](https://node-status.nym.com/dvpn): Shows latest probe results on one board
+- [Nym Node Status Observatory](https://harbourmaster.nymtech.net): New version of a good old Nym Harbourmaster, allowing operators preview stats of each node
+
+The following sections explain what is measured in order to collect stats to the [API enpoint](https://nymvpn.com/api/public/v1/directory/gateways) and in the section [*Complete Setup Checklist*](#complete-setup-checklist) below you can see the order of measurements.
+
+#### Entry Gateway - Mixnet (5-hop)
+
+**Tests:**
+
+- `can_connect`: Can connect to client WS/WSS endpoint (ports 9000/9001)
+- `can_route`: Entry gateway correctly forwards packets into the mixnet
+
+**To Pass:**
+
+- Expose correct `WS` and or `WSS` ports (`9000`/ `9001`)
+- Ensure DNS A/AAAA records resolve correctly
+- Verify IPv6 is actually reachable (not just in DNS)
+- Keep node online and monitor packet loss
+
+#### Exit Gateway (IPR) - Mixnet (5-hop)
+
+**Tests:**
+
+- `can_connect`: Can connect to <abbr title={IPR}>IPR</abbr>
+- `can_route_ip_v4`: IPv4 routing works
+- `can_route_ip_external_v4`: IPv4 routing to external internet works
+- `can_route_ip_v6`: IPv6 routing works
+- `can_route_ip_external_v6`: IPv6 routing to external internet works
+
+**To Pass:**
+
+- Ensure upstream routing and NAT allow both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic to external internet
+- Check system firewall rules (bidirectional)
+- Confirm outbound reachability to common external hosts on both stacks
+- Run node with `mode=exit-gateway` - this by default includes entry-gateway mode.
+
+#### Gateways - WireGuard (dVPN / 2-hop)
+
+**Tests:**
+
+- `can_register`: Authentication flow completes successfully
+- `can_handshake`: WireGuard handshake succeeds
+- `can_resolve_dns`: DNS resolution works
+- `can_query_metadata_v4`: Can query metadata endpoint
+- `ping_hosts_performance` / `ping_ips_performance`: Latency and packet loss metrics
+
+**To Pass:**
+
+- Open WireGuard UDP port `51822` (public)
+- Ensure metadata TCP port `51830` is accessible inside the WireGuard tunnel (at `10.1.0.1:51830`) for bandwidth queries/topup
+- Keep QUIC bridge (`UDP 4443`) healthy if deployed
+- Reduce server latency/jitter (depends on provider and location)
+- Ensure DNS resolvers are reliable
+- Pass the `--wireguard-enabled true` flag in the node config
+
+### Probe Freshness
+
+- Probes run continuously; each node is typically tested every ~2 hours
+- If a probe fails or times out, the gateway will have stale probe data until the next successful probe completes
+- `last_updated_utc`: Timestamp indicating when the last successful probe test completed
+
+See [*Complete Setup Checklist*](#complete-setup-checklist) to understand the order of tests.
+
+### Complete Setup Checklist
+
+**If one test fails, the following points don't get checked!**
+
+#### On-Chain & Configuration
+
+- [ ] [Bonded on-chain](/operators/nodes/nym-node/bonding) with [correct role](/operators/nodes/nym-node/setup#functionality-mode) (`exit-gateway`) and correct ports opened exposed
+- [ ] Self-description endpoint is reachable
+- [ ] [T&Cs accepted](/operators/nodes/nym-node/setup#terms--conditions)
+
+#### Network & Ports
+
+- [ ] **Mixnet**: Port `1789` (mixnet) accessible; ports `9000` (`WS`) and `9001` (`WSS`) accessible with valid [TLS for WSS](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration/proxy-configuration#reverse-proxy-configuration)
+- [ ] [**QUIC bridge**](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quic-transport-bridge-deployment) (if used): UDP 4443 with valid addresses and SNI host
+- [ ] [**WireGuard**](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#routing-configuration): `UDP 51822` open (public); `TCP 51830` accessible [inside WireGuard tunnel](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#fixing-metadata-port-showing-not-open-in-probe-results) (`10.1.0.1:51830`); `--wireguard-enabled true` set in node config
+- [ ] **Exit (<abbr title={IPR}>IPR</abbr>)**: [IPv4 and IPv6](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#routing-configuration) routing to external internet configured
+- [ ] **DNS**: A/AAAA records correct; IPv6 actually reachable (test, don't just add DNS)
+
+#### Performance Targets
+
+- [ ] Achieve `≥ 60%` mixnet performance (Medium)
+- [ ] Aim for `≥ 80%` (High) for optimal visibility
+- [ ] Keep latency and packet loss low (excessive load reduces performance scores)
+- [ ] Keep uptime high (network monitor tracks this)
+
+#### Probe Results (Verify All Pass)
+
+- [ ] Entry: `can_connect=true` and `can_route=true`
+- [ ] Exit: `can_connect=true` and all v4/v6 routing flags are `true`
+- [ ] WireGuard: `can_register`, `can_handshake`, `can_resolve_dns`, and `can_query_metadata_v4` all pass; ping metrics good
+
+#### Recommended
+
+- [ ] [WSS enabled](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration/proxy-configuration) (connections may fail on clients if only WS is available)
+- [ ] [QUIC bridge](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#quic-transport-bridge-deployment) operational (ensures your node appears when users enable QUIC only filter on the app)
+- [ ] Accurate geo/IP information (country/region/residential filters rely on this)
+- [ ] Stay on most recent supported binary version - [old versions are penalised](/operators/performance-and-testing#versions-behind-calculation)

+**QUIC bridge is a requirement for all nodes which enable Wireguard functionality. Note that it this feature is compatible with nodes from `v1.19.0` (platform release [`v2025.18-jarlsberg`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/releases/tag/nym-binaries-v2025.17-isabirra)) and newer!**
+</ Callout>
+
+Nym Network uses various [transport bridges](https://github.com/nymtech/nym-bridges/blob/main/README.md) for routing the packets. Right now operators need to configure [our implementation](https://github.com/nymtech/nym-bridges/tree/main/nym-bridge) of general-purpose transport layer network protocol called [QUIC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC).
+
+Operators can use [Nym Bridge Configuration Tool](https://github.com/nymtech/nym-bridges/tree/main/bridge-cfg) and compile the [Bridge Runner binary](https://github.com/nymtech/nym-bridges/tree/main/nym-bridge) themselves.
+
+**We recommend a more convenient QUIC bridge deployment using a script [`quic_bridge_deployment.sh`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/develop/scripts/nym-node-setup/quic_bridge_deployment.sh), following the steps below.**
+
+<Callout type="warning" emoji="⚠️">
+This script assumes that you follow the convention of running a `nym-node` as `root`. In case you run as a [non-root user](/operators/nodes/nym-node/configuration#running-nym-node-as-a-non-root), please follow [manual QUIC bridge setup](https://github.com/nymtech/nym-bridges/blob/main/README.md) and ask for support in the [Matrix channel](https://matrix.to/#/#operators:nymtech.chat).
+</Callout>
+
+<Steps>
+###### 1. Download [`quic_bridge_deployment.sh`](https://github.com/nymtech/nym/blob/develop/scripts/nym-node-setup/quic_bridge_deployment.sh) script
+- SSH to your server
+- **Run as root**
+- Download the script and make executable
+```sh
+curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nymtech/nym/refs/heads/develop/scripts/nym-node-setup/quic_bridge_deployment.sh -o quic_bridge_deployment.sh && \
+chmod +x quic_bridge_deployment.sh
+```
+
+###### 2. Run the script with `full_bridge_setup` command
+- Optional: open `tmux` in case you will need to run another commands on the VPS
+- Run the script with a command `full_bridge_setup`
+```sh
+./quic_bridge_deployment.sh full_bridge_setup
+```
+
+###### 3. Follow the interactive prompts
+- Make sure you don't just press enter to insert default values if your setup is different, for example in case of path to the config file
+
+###### 4. Validate
+
+- After running the script, ensure that the bridges are running correctly:
+```sh
+systemctl status nym-bridge.service
+```
+
+###### 5. Restart `nym-node` service
+- When done with the deployment, please restart your node systemd service
+```sh
+service nym-node restart && journalctl -u nym-node.service -f --all
+```
+
+</Steps>

+### Fixing Metadata Port Showing Not Open in Probe Results
+If you have followed the steps outlined above, but the metadata port is not shown as open in either the Node Status API's probe results or an explorer that gets its data from the API, see below:
+
+<Steps>
+**Run as root**
+
+###### 1. Confirm correct `config.toml` private IPv4 address
+Ensure that in your `config.toml` file, this value is set to the default one - any other value here will cause the metadata endpoint to fail:
+
+```
+# Private IP address of the wireguard gateway.
+# default: '10.1.0.1'
+private_ipv4 = '10.1.0.1'
+```
+
+Then restart your node.
+
+###### 2. Open the needed port
+Run this command if not already done:
+```
+ufw allow in on nymwg to any port 51830 proto tcp
+```
+
+Check if the port is open with:
+```
+iptables -S | grep 51830
+```
+
+Then ensure the metadata endpoint is listening from the correct address with:
+```
+netstat -an | egrep LISTEN | egrep "51830"
+```
+
+###### 3. Validate the setup
+Once the Node Status API has run a probe on your node, the probe results will reflect this - `can_query_metadata_v4` will have `true` as a value.
+
+The quickest way to check this is by using the [NymVPN API](https://nymvpn.com/api/public/v1/directory/gateways?show_vpn_only=true) and checking the same field:
+
+![](/images/operators/wg-metadata-port-api.png)
