Hi onion peeps, I run a no-exit relay that can sustain about a hundred KB/s but I need to limit to about 4 GB/day to stay under bandwidth caps. I have accounting set up but what happens now is that it blows through that in 12 hours and then hibernates until the next day. However, because server descriptors aren't accepted into the consensus if they're not much different from the last one, at some point during hibernation my node appears to go down (presumably until it starts relaying again and publishes a significantly different descriptor).
Is that the trade-off nodes that do bandwidth accounting have to make? That is, appear down due to the consensus refresh parameter of 12 hours? Are nodes that hibernate daily by definition not stable? (and in torstatus and torweather appear down for a large chunk of the day?) best, Joe -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall ACCURATE Postdoctoral Research Associate UC Berkeley School of Information Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy http://josephhall.org/ *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@torproject.org with unsubscribe or-talk in the body. http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/
