Hi everyone,
nothing of real concern, but out of curiosity: since some years now i use overhead traffic on my ISP for Tor, with a small home relay burning some 3 to 4 MB/Sec. Usual middle relay plus V2Dir (and HSdir some days after last reboot). Since some weeks now, the read/written bytes differ quite significantly, and i never experieced sth like that for a relevant timespan before.
Is this a sign of more "reading directory services" on the relay? (maybe short reqests and verbose replys), some new kind of attack, whatever?
direct metrics-Link via https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/11FC7D9C7D8DF74326B90EC71C101... and screenie attached. Again, no big issue, just curiosity. And if its some kind of bug, i'd be happy to hand over more info.
thx to everyone maintaining and running this stuff, Richie
