Hi, I am operating two 1 GBit/s servers which host 7 exit nodes. One server is located in GB with
torland1 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/4E377F91D326552AAE818D5A17BC3EF79639C2CD torland2 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/332895D092C2524A3CDE8F6E1498FFE665EBFC34 torland1 is configured to run at maximum bandwidth, torland2 runs trottled to ensure not to exceed the 100TB contractual traffic limit. The nodes on this server get traffic as expected and are at the top of the Blutmagie Tor Status http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/index.php?SR=Bandwidth&SO=Desc. The second server is located in RO and hosts torland3 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E5DB403858511BB166405E4C43776D933A7B86D6 torland4 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/E0D2F8B2A18516A5C935477B06048D7BD2E7EC57 torland5 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/D2F1745C11843BC5AF09CB9D4027AD2BE5F1B20A torland6 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/43F9022028F8AB0F7420F702CB079DF0CA0C80E3 The configuration for the GB and RO nodes is: Nickname TorLandX ORPort 443 DirPort 80 Address a.b.c.d ORListenAddress a.b.c.d DirListenAddress a.b.c.d OutboundBindAddress a.b.c.d RelayBandwidthRate 30 MBytes # max 30 RelayBandwidthBurst 100 MBytes # max 100 MaxOnionsPending 250 NumCPUs 4 On both servers AES-NI is used by openssl. Although the server in RO has the same configuration, same operating system and a similar hardware, it does not get traffic as the server in GB. At the moment Atlas shows for torland3-6 only an advertised bandwidth rate of less the 3 MB/s. The GB node torland1 shows more than 30 MB/s. In order to test if there are any traffic limits I did several speed tests by doing up and downloads of a large 4GB iso image. Downloading simultaneously with 10 curl instances from different debian mirrors I measured around 1 GBit/s. To measure upload I stored the debian 4GB iso image on the webserver of the RO server and used curl on the GB server to download it from RO. The maximal measured upstream speed on the RO server was around 750 Mbit/s. Therefore I looks for me as there are no traffic limits inplace by my ISP or their upstream. One of the servers operated by Torservers.net is located in the same data center and runs wau, gorz and sofia at high speed. I am wondering why the directory authorities only measure such a small fraction of the available bandwidth for the RO nodes. Because I am paying personally for the server I would like to get most out of the server. Can someone who runs a tor authority please help me to understand what is the reason for the low observed bandwidth. Thanks, Torland _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
