Maximum bandwidth is the average bandwidth limit for both incoming and outgoing traffic of a relay. "Burst" should be set to near the line limit (and to more than "max"), specifying a maximum for short-term bandwidth spikes if necessary/useful to the relay. >From the directory spec (third hit when you search for "tor bandwidth max observed burst": "bandwidth" bandwidth-avg bandwidth-burst bandwidth-observed NL Estimated bandwidth for this router, in bytes per second. The "average" bandwidth is the volume per second that the OR is willing to sustain over long periods; the "burst" bandwidth is the volume that the OR is willing to sustain in very short intervals. The "observed" value is an estimate of the capacity this relay can handle. The relay remembers the max bandwidth sustained output over any ten second period in the past day, and another sustained input. The "observed" value is the lesser of these two numbers. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/ _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
