Hi all,
I'm looking at some traffic patterns for my Exit relay, and I'm frankly a bit disappointed with the utilization.
Currently it's running at a load average of 0.3-0.5, and CPU idle at 70-80%.
We're not limited on Bandwidth (tests show that our max cap is more than safe to produce), yet, we're barely reaching 20% of our potential allocated traffic.
We've reached "fast" and "guard", and got the "stable" flag as well, so in theory we ought to see traffic move a bit higher than currently.
So, how do we get tor to move past 100-200Mbit? Is it just a waiting game?
How long has the relay been up? What's the fingerprint of your Exit relay? Where is it located?
Have you read: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay
Does your processor have AES-NI? Is it reasonably fast? Does Tor have enough sockets available? Does it warn you about any other potential performance issues in its logs?
Have you tried running 2 Tor instances per IPv4 address?
Also, have you tried searching the mailing list archives? This question gets asked and answered at least once a month.
