The technical requirements are: For sbws:
- A HTTP or HTTPS server that supports GET, HEAD, and Range
(for example, Apache or Nginx)
- A 1 GB file
What are the upstream/downstream link requirements for sbws
Are the requirements in https://gitweb.torproject.org/sbws.git/tree/INSTALL.rst#n57 still accurate?
The bandwidth requirements are slightly less than they used to be, because we turned off some optional features, and changed the scaling algorithm.
You could probably use a 100 Mbits connection.
I can provide a dedicated server with these requirements in a university environment. I can roll a test version and maintain it if we decide that is useful.
Do we need another test sbws server?
While so far only the person that have access to the server can see the problems running it, the raw measurements and the bandwidth files produced, i'm not sure how useful it can be.
Do we want to have one spare for the next bandwidth authority?
I think this should be a question for the directory authorities, is up to them to decide where to run the bandwidth authority.
