Also, I have come to distrust TorStatus. Why? Because difference sites will
have different numbers while supposedly monitoring the same network. One of my
nodes is currently showing an Observed bandwidth of 10KB (yes, ten) at
torstatus.blutmagie.de while the same node is showing an Observed 83KB at
torstatus.all.de. Don't take the reported values as gospel.
They seem to be measuring different things. As far as I can tell,
blutmagie.de appears to be calculating the average bandwidth actually
used overall per day, i.e. the average of the rates shown in the Recent
Read/Write History graphs, which in turn appear to be faithful copies of
the node's reported extra-info data. all.de reports the node's own
observed bandwidth figure from its most recently uploaded server
descriptor, and I have no idea what it's showing in its Read/Write
History graphs, it's not the extra-info history data, and I can't relate
it to anything.
So blutmagie.de shows how much traffic the different routers are
actually processing on average per second, and all.de shows the peak
speed reached by each router in a short sprint (10 seconds?).
