-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Was wondering if there are any theoretical limits for the maximum possible concurrent connections to a Hidden Service via a single Tor instance - asking from the Hidden Service server point of view.
Excluded are CPU and bandwidth factors - are there any other factors which can act as a bottleneck here? One would be, the way I see it, the guard server. Since a Guard is selected randomly and kept for longer period of time, let's say a Hidden Service selects a Guard with low bandwidth resources (lowest allowed by directory authorities in order to make it eligible for receiving the guard flag). Now, this Guard also handles traffic for other clients too, simultaneously. Since the Guard's bandwidth resources are low, the Hidden Service server can be a ten-gigabit one, it won't matter, since all the Hidden Service traffic will go through the Guard, and that will be the bottleneck. A Guard by default, does it make any rate-limiting for Tor traffic per client? Let's pretend my guard server gets selected to be the Guard for a high profile Hidden Service which handles a lot of traffic. This single client will consume all my bandwidth - will the default Tor settings do anything to rate-limit it in any way? Will I still handle other clients too, simultaneously? Apologies in advance if I said something terrible stupid. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUj4A1AAoJEIN/pSyBJlsRww0IAKVLdlIkg9U6z7bpar7tuI9U b07LqDrvH1z8lhcgMcmtRRMMtwWYwiv9txvQtRoW5/v5QGjPuQl31VrRrF5lIJQV jLVUIO1bNF4eg/QcRP6v4gDuwb4c4VFMemhm8TrsWQTWSJMqk7SyCx6kQFho9Kdg yX0oXYSbP1iMwQfJQJjiVJiECcxKnrYeSQve1DLmL/u71s0Q7vIGBcfMub/nO7aI KsNzkf2jI07tH4u7T4m7C0eZYhfmkcCb5sXL4nbEEy66/Lgc0ILko98CveV9E9/B JM7n7WOx8kpns4eRbkSFwO55GTUtGdwEs5OoI7UDAR3+3ZHYpiibseSMB5Y2oIM= =S5xT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
