#32720: How much bandwidth does a user use to bootstrap and maintain dir info? How has that changed over time? --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: arma | Owner: nickm Type: task | Status: accepted Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Actual Points: Parent ID: | Points: Reviewer: | Sponsor: --------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by nickm):
* status: new => accepted * owner: (none) => nickm Comment: I've measured this in the silliest way possible: instrumenting the directory code to dump how much it downloads, and then running it for 24-48 hours with a fresh datadirectory. With a Tor ~0.4.2 client, in late July, I got 2.4 MiB to bootstrap, plus mean 47 KiB per epoch to stay up-to-date. I'm attaching the tarball of my experiment; I'm happy to re-run this with other versions and settings, so long as they work on the current Tor network. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/32720#comment:1> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
