"It's also worth noting that the Tor network only uses about 50% of the
advertised bandwidth.
But this is a good thing, because it helps reduce latency and congestion."
Yes, but less than 1/3 of all Tor relays are exits (
https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html) and exit bandwidth is much

How do the bandwidth authorities treat a hibernated relay? Does hibernation
effectively lower the consensus weight (CW)? If so, and even if the lower
CW is temporary, would it then take longer for the CW to climb back up once
the relay is out of hibernation?
IMHO it seems simpler to just throttle

Hibernation using AccountingMax won't result in "spotty" client service.
The relay will not

I remember arma mentioning on OFTC once that having a faster relay is
preferable over
I've been wondering this myself, and recently found this thread:
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/791/how-to-calculate-optimal-relay-bandwidth-throughput
TL;DR, using AccountingMax means your relay won't be very stable because
it will be idle for a certain amount of time, whereas RelayBa
Hi!
I have a VPS on a 6 TB (rx + tx) per month plan.
What is most useful for the Tor network:
a) Run it at full speed for about seven days per month (AccountingMax)
or
b) Throttle network speed by setting RelayBandwidthRate and always be
online?
Kind regards
