Hello!
I'd like to collect some samples for how many MBit/s on a single tor daemon are possible on given CPU model before it is limited by the CPU.
If your single tor daemon routes more than 350 MBit/s in each direction and you are running on bare metal it would be awesome if you could share your
- CPU model (ideally a link to ark.intel.com if it is an intel cpu)
- avg. daily CPU usage (ie. from munin graphs)
- actual traffic (MBit/s)
- optional: relay fingerprint
+OS would be wonderful.
You can test how much Tor traffic your machine can handle with chutney:
git clone https://git.torproject.org/chutney.git # Pass 100 MB of random data through a 3-hop tor path on your local machine chutney/tools/test-network.sh --data-bytes 104857600
Chutney runs a Tor client, 3 relays, and a python script, so your results will be slightly lower than the maximum. But they are much more reproducible, because they don't depend on your network connection.
