Seconded. We have moved to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for machines with AES-NI support as it comes with a packaged OpenSSL 1.01. All that remains is enabling the BIOS option and the kernel module as documented at https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#aes-ni_crypto_acceleration
Machines without AES-NI can do ~150 Mbps max per Tor process (and core). With AES-NI, you can see >200 Mbps. If your pipe is bigger, you need to run multiple Tor processes and likely tweak some of your kernel settings ( https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#high_bandwidth_tweaks_100_mbps )
- Is there some document suggesting how to SWIP your address, and
explaining the importance of having your abuse mails go to someplace other than your general university abuse team? It's touched on in several places but we should make it even clearer.
ARIN: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html The relevant template/process is called "IPv4 Reassign-Detailed".
RIPE: I could not find a location that explains how to reassign IP space, but from what I know ISPs can do it via web interface.
