Hello,
Just setup a new bridge running 0.2.6.1-alpha and it's working fine.
The bridge is running in a Linux container VPS and appears to have an iptables traffic-shaped bandwidth limit of 400KB. Can browse and download files through it with decent performance using obfs4.
However self-measurement of bandwidth, after starting at around 200Kbytes has steadily declined until now its showing 8KB and has lost the "fast" flag. At this point the bridge has yet to attract any traffic other then my testing usage--but it works just fine nevertheless.
I suspect that latency for small transfers is fairly bad (in the sense of milliseconds, rather than seconds) and that this may be distorting bandwidth metrics. Also the number of bytes transferred is close to zero, which does not seem likely to help the situation.
Should I be concerned about it? Anything anyone can recommend to correct it aside from looking another VPS provider? Does the advertised bandwidth have much effect on whether the bridge will be disseminated by the bridge database system? No "stable" flag yet, but not enough time has passed for this to happen.
Thanks
