That's because the directory authorities do not set a value in the consensus. > dir-spec [2] >> "perconnbwrate" and "perconnbwburst" -- if set, each relay sets >> up a separate token bucket for every client OR connectio [...]> >> First-appeared: 0.2.2.7-alpha This line is not accurate - the perconn* code still exists in Tor master: >> Removed-in: 0.2.2.16-alpha https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/connection_or.c#n763 We should document the tor versions that implement consensus parameters.

Yes, we should update the man page so it doesn't say that the value is in the consensus. > Is there a default value if consensus does not say anything about it > or is there no per connection limit in that case? The default is BandwidthRate/Burst. This should also be in the man page. Please feel free to open a ticket in Core Tor, 0.3.4. > 2) > Is there a RelayBandwidthRate torrc setting in addition to BandwidthRate > so tor instances which act as clients and relays at the same time can > have independent bw rates for each role (client, relay)? > > BandwidthRate -> affects client and relay role > RelayBandwidthRate -> affects only relay role > is this correct? Yes. But it's slightly more complicated: when an OR connection is used for client purposes (like downloading a consensus), all its cells are counted as client bandwidth for the next 30 seconds.
