every time I run a relay on a Comcast cable connection, after a while (a few hours to days) other network operations such as DNS lookups slow down to such an extent that the network becomes unusable. Unfortunately I don't know how to exactly pinpoint what the problem is, but found that the only reliable solution at such a point seems to be to reset the cable modem.
Is that a known issue? Could you suggest how I can diagnose this more accurately?
The dd-wrt page has some hints that may apply if you have a router between your relay and Comcast cable. Specifically settings such as TCP timeout and Max Connections. I don't know if Tor already checks those limits and throttles itself to match, or what the recommended router settings are for Tor relays.
