I did not record the nodes (they were in Europe). A simple test you could run on your server is fetching directory info from nodes that have directory functionality enabled. wget http://<relay IP>:<dir port>/tor/server/all e.g.: wget http://176.126.252.11:443/tor/server/all You can get a bandwidth-sorted list of nodes at: https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/ There is a column that has the directory port. > How would you measure performance between my node and a given exit without > being influenced by the properties of the middle relay?

There are libraries like Stem, Txtorcon, TorCtl and there is a text based, SMTP-like protocol that you can use directly: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt > so how would you know that the low performance was my node and not the random > middle relay?

How can we investigate further? AFAIK, the raw bandwidth auth measurements are not published, only the total result. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
