<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-size: 17pt;">I have a 250Mb pipe and have seen a maximum Advertised Bandwidth rate of 4MB/s with my Tor relay. I know resource constraint must be factored in, but I would expect better than 4MB/s. I believe I remember reading it was based on an average 10 second burst rate, but in what direction is the connection initiated?</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><span style="font-size: 17pt;"><br></span></p>
