Hi or-dev,<br>
<br>
I have just spent a little time thinking about this and tinkering here.<br>
I may not have been too clear before.<br>
<br>
I ideally want to have my Tor installation acting as a server and a
client at the same time.<br>
Failing that 2 machines are required, one as a server and one being
used as a client, which I think is not ideal.<br>
If I could find a way to have it run as a server - a fast one - but
with limited bandwidth allocated, and then a client at the same time, I
would be happy.<br>
Right now I have 384mb Recv and 78mb served, so the 2 numbers are not
necessarily symmetric.<br>
<br>
At present with Tor, as you say, EITHER Recv OR Sent is used in
bandwidth limiting, with connections being blown away when the node
moves to hibernate state.<br>
<br>
Ideally I would like only 'server'' connections blown away, but the
ability to act as a client intact so I can continue browsing with the
same node.<br>
In this endeavour I have been playing with the code and so far I have
half the story covered, with only Sent bytes operating in the hibernate
code.<br>
What I need now is to switch off the blowing away of 'Client mode'
based connection, and still enabling them be created. Though I am not
sure if that's possible ?<br>
<br>
Of course, according to how the originators of Tor intended, I could be
barking up the wrong tree ?<br>

Usually these values are decently symmetric. Cheers! -Damian<br>

Group,<br>
<br>
I have noticed that if I set a bandwidth restraint for my server, it
hibernates when the amount of data 'downloaded' rather than 'sent'
reaches the specified limit within the accounting period.<br>
Thinking about it... does it make more sense for the limit to be
applied to the amount of 'sent' data as opposed to 'received' ?<br>
