Thanx niftybunny,
It's more political than anything. With the constant changes in policy driving censorship I feel that having a strong presence is important.
At the moment there are 50 nodes in Australia with the fastest running at 357Kbs and only two exit nodes - fastest is 100Kbs. Its a reflection on the state of politics and the level of service that is provided by ISP's.
Yes I could run more nodes in VMs around the world but at this stage I would like to investigate a strong presence here in AU.
Regards,
Paul

The smallest block you can advertise with your own AD is a /24 as far as I know. Getting a IPv4 /24 is …. expensive and hard to get. If you are not incredible rich and very tech savvy and a hardcore Tor supporter: Forget it. Get yourself a few virtual servers.

Thanx to all here on the list for input to earlier posts. Helped a lot.
Question I have is there anywhere where you can get a block of IP address or lease as I'm in the process of getting a 10/10Mb SHDSL service(No flaming data cap :-)) here in AU but I want an IP range that abuse questions can be forwarded to me. The service provider doesn't provide ARIN registration but said if I have my own block I can update the BG and manage it my self.

Paul PS - the best price I can do at the moment is $550pm - *SIGH* - but worth it. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays

I feel this can be in part a reflection of Tor's particular bandwidth measurement method, as teor has mentioned in a previous reply.
And in any case, with Tor's overall architecture, does it really make sense to route e.g. EU clients exiting to EU destinations, via Tor circuits going through Australian nodes and back. I guess this is still an area open for further research and optimization.
