Bridge behavior is decidedly different than normal relay behavior--I've been running one for a year. Normal relays get poked fairly often by the four "BWAuth" bandwidth authorities and bandwidth starts at 20KB and rises steadily from the get-go. I suppose the bandwidth calculation is passive in b

Oops. The "rate limit" I quoted is actually the limit on the DOCSIS modem here, not on the VPS. Probably not 'iptables' traffic shaping after all. Using 'speedtest_cli.py' the max rate has been showing 100 Mbits/sec, but I discount that because the speedtest node appears to reside in the same da
