Hi,

Hi
I've a question regarding the rate setting in torrc and tor honoring it. I've set up a tor relay with following rate settings: RelayBandwidthRate 2048 KBytes RelayBandwidthBurst 2048 KBytes
But using arm, I'm seeing that tor is not honoring these settings, with bursts frequently exceeding the value. The average rate control seems to be working fine though.

What am I missing?
I'm running 0.3.0.10 on Linux.
Thanks
You should firstly keep in mind that these settings apply to traffic both up and down - i.e. you'll get 2048 kilobytes/second up and 2048 kilobytes/second down.
It's worth noting that there may be some confusion between kilobits/second and kilobytes/second.
It is probably worth using external monitoring tools rather than relying on ARM's measurement, too.
Best, Duncan
