Looking for feedback on my Tor relay configuration decision:
Assuming both options cost the same and provide the same aggregate bandwidth—and by “better,” I mean improved advertised bandwidth, reliability, and diversity—is it preferable to deploy:
Option A: One hardware server on a 40Gbps link, or
Option B: Four hardware servers, each on a 10Gbps link, located in different geographic areas and/or with different upstream providers?
I lean toward Option B because it offers advantages in advertised bandwidth, reliability, and diversity. Additionally, does the ideal choice depend on whether the relays serve as exit nodes or as guard/middle nodes? Also, is there a more comprehensive way to define “better” for this context?
I appreciate any suggestions or refinements!
