<DIV><FONT size=2>When looking at network maps in Vidalia, we can see the
bandwidth of the router denoted as "1286KB/s". But when looking up corresponding
records in the "cached-routers" located in tor data directory, it reads in the
form of "bandwidth 1024000 2048000 1316902". What does it mean? Does it have any
relation with "1286KB/s"?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Another question about the bandwidth of circuits: I see
routers in a circuit having different bandwidth, from xxKB/s to xxxxKB/s. Is the
bandwidth of the circuit as a whole determined by the router with the lowest
bandwidth? For example: a circuit containing 3 nodes whose bandwidth are 4328,
4317, 327KB/s respectively. Can we say that the bandwidth of this circuit is
327KB/s?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>By adding "ExcludeNodes" to torrc to remove low-bandwidth
routers, can we speed up tor?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
