I'm struggling a bit with the two config options for RelayBandwidthRate and
RelayBandwidthBurst - what I currently have in my torrc config file is:
> ...
> RelayBandwidthRate 8 Mbit
> RelayBandwidthBurst 12 Mbit
> ...
My assumption was that on average the Relay would consume 8 Mbps max. but over
a shorter period of time also up to 12 Mbps in case needed.
What I see (historical monitor data at 10 s intervals for the past 6 months) is
that the bandwidth usage never exceeds 8 Mbps. I can also see the consumption
to be levelled out at 8 Mbps for minutes or hours so it looks like there would
be a need for more bandwidth.
My question: why can't I see the bandwidth usage going above 8 Mbps and making
use of the allowed burst? Btw, I'm typically using the latest stable tor,
currently the relay is on 0.4.0.5.
Any comment welcome!
