<p>The hardware in your raspberry is way too weak to be able to push 100 Mbit/s.<br>
</p>
<p>My guess is that Atlas will show somewhere just below 1 MByte for your relay.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have tried to find cost effective hardware for a relay that is able to push around 100 Mbit/s. All the options I have looked at turned out to be a bit too expensive for my taste (and wallet). Either the initial cost or the energy usage is too high for
such hardware for my purposes.<br>

mb is not a thing that exists;<br>
Mb is megabits: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabit</a><br>
MB is megabytes: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte" target="_blank">

What you entered in torrc is currently correct. But since your board has a 100<br>
Mbit interface anyway, it would be better if you just omit the bandwidth limit<br>
line entirely.<br>
<br>
Also, actually hit anything remotely close to 100 Mbit, you'll absolutely have<br>
to run two instances of Tor. The Raspberry Pi 3 has 4 CPU cores, but each core<br>
on its own is not very fast. One copy of Tor only uses about 1 to 1.3 cores,<br>
so to fully utilize your hardware you need more than one. Ideally you'd set up<br>
four, but the Tor network will only accept two running from the same IPv4<br>
address. It appears that these days there's a built-in script for that, see<br>
"man tor-instance-create".<br>
