Georg, Thank you for the reference that confirms the Advertised Bandwidth is from the Tor client. I still don't understand why my Tor nodes aren't able to initiate a 10 second burst higher than 4MB/s. An Internet Speed Test is able to sustain a burst near my advertised 250Mb/s up and down. Am I right in thinking the answer to this question is... It is what it is? Respectfully,
Gary

Will you confirm whether the Advertised Bandwidth metric is also client initiated (I'm assuming to the Directory Authority)?
I have a 250Mb pipe and have seen a maximum Advertised Bandwidth rate of 4MB/s with my Tor relay. I know resource constraint must be factored in, but I would expect better than 4MB/s. I believe I remember reading it was based on an average 10 second burst rate, but in what direction is the connection initiated?
That metrics is not overload related but I talked about advertised bandwidth in a previous mail.[1] I suppose that one helps answering your questions (at least apart from the why only 4MB/s one)?
