[know I'm breaking the thread--sorry about that]
Starlight - I see your advertised BW is 7.26MB = 58.08 Mb with globe showing 2 to 4 Mb traffic. Maybe I will up the advertised BW on the relay and see if that helps.
That's not "advertised" bandwidth in the sense of something that can be adjusted by the operator. It's the relay self- measurement and is the fastest sustained speed the relay has observed in the last 24 hours. You can see this information in the 'state' file on the BW...Max lines. Verizon recently took down the connection here for 18 hours (central-office upgrade work for their new 100/100 promotion; they will not admit it and gave no warning --Verizon is not a perfect company either). Normally the self-measure peaks at around 80-90% or so of actual bandwidth and the 7256KB value is on the low side of it's range. Self-measure for GMOJO02 is 204KB or 1.6Mbits/second. The BWauths have the relay as:
2-gablemoo--w Bandwidth=204 Measured=33 5-moria1----w Bandwidth=204 Measured=59 3-maatuska--w Bandwidth=204 Measured=82 -- median 1-longclaw--w Bandwidth=204 Measured=131 4-Faravahar-w Bandwidth=204 Measured=185
I see this configured for GMOJO02:
BandwidthBurst 307200 BandwidthRate 204800
The self-measure shows this relay is getting exactly what it should based on the settings. If you want more you must increase these values. This is what I ran with before the switch:
BandwidthBurst 1200000 BandwidthRate 325000
Where the 325KB average-max is 85% of the 3MBit maximum capacity of the Comcast link (375KB) and is intended to prevent Comcast's aggressive and problematic traffic shaping from kicking in.
The BWauth/Torflow system presently targets 25-35% available bandwidth utilization and the latter settings above will cause the relay to obtain something like the consensus 0.015934% value show by Globe for the relay here back just before the switch to FiOS, while the relay you have is presently at 0.000232%.
Keep in mind the percentages fall steadily due to overall bandwidth of the Tor network increasing. The BWauth value for the relay here was something like 230k if I recall correctly.
