Hi,
due to the new DigitalOcean billing terms for bandwidth (see this other thread [1]), I have limited my relay bandwidth to be sure I will stay withing the limits:
RelayBandwidthRate 360 KB # Throttle traffic to 100KB/s (800Kbps) RelayBandwidthBurst 720 KB # But allow bursts up to 200KB/s (1600Kbps)This is the relay: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/1211AC1BBB8A1AF7CBA86BCE8689A...
The relay is also a Fallback Directory Mirror. I plan on keeping the relay running, but I was wondering if the new limits disqualify it or if they are a problem to let it be a fallback directory mirror.
The minimum bandwidth for a fallback directory mirror is currently 500 kBps: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/scripts/maint/updateFallbackDirs.... And if we have extra fallbacks, we choose the fastest ones. We choose fast relays so clients can bootstrap quickly.
Next time we rebuild the list, your relay will probably not be chosen as a fallback.
But it's still helping the tor network.
Thanks for running a relay!
