<pre class="k9mail">I just stumbled over this<br />(<a href="https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth-flags.html">https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth-flags.html</a>) graph at tor<br />metrics, which shows advertised exit bandwidth to be around 40Gbit/s and<br />consumed exit bandwidth around 20Gbit/s. This would mean that we have<br />about twice as much exit bandwidth than we need, which I strongly doubt.<br />So now I'm curious about what causes this disparity.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><hr /><br />tor-relays mailing list<br />tor-relays@lists.torproject.org<br /><a href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays">https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays</a><br /></pre></blockquote></div><br clear="all">People who are not concerned about limiting their bandwidth usage will advertise a bandwidth higher than their system can use. The advertised bandwidth is more of a hint to the network than a concrete fact.<br>
