Hi tor-relays@ mailing list,
I have a Tor relay "NeelTorRelay2":
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/D5B8C38539C509380767D4DE20DE8...
This relay is hosted on a 300 mbps Verizon FiOS (FTTH/GPON) connection. My server is a HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 (quad-core AMD X3421 variant) running FreeBSD, and my router is a Linksys WRT1900AC running OpenWrt.
For some reason, the Advertised Bandwidth is not going above ~19.5 MiB/s.
If my relay is pushing 10MB/s (80mbps) at a given time, the CPU usage is around 20%, so I don't think its the CPU.
My question is that is this lower Advertised Bandwidth speeds normal for a relay hosted on a connection behind a consumer level router and it's NAT table (even despite OpenWrt)? Could it be Verizon's DPI/QoS now that Net Neutrality is repealed? Would using a non-consumer router (like Ubiquiti or pfSense) help?
Thank You,
Neel Chauhan
