Hello all,
I run a non-exit relay in Australia. My relay has been running for almost 15 days and has seen very little traffic. I have a 100/40 fibre connection and bandwidth is set at 2MB/s and 2.5MB/s burst.
The mean read/write is 3.22kb/s and the advertised bandwidth constantly varies between 100-800kb/s which is obviously a fraction of my available bandwidth.
Do relays located in less tor frequented countries see much less traffic or something? I have ports set at 443 and dirport 9030, is this an optimal port setting?
Anyone with helpful information would be appreciated. My relay is 1337m8 if anyone wants to look at the traffic.
Thanks
As always, https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay is relevant.
Best, Luke
Hi Mathew,
I run multiple exit nodes in the US and have what could be the same problem. My first node 'apexio' has been running with 99.99% uptime for four months and the bandwidth usage is minimal and dropping. I'm using Linux with very fast hardware and ample resources.
I mentioned all the specifics on this list a couple weeks ago and no one had a solution.

A customer of mine also has the same issue.
Something is going on that's NOT related to hardware or network speed, but is a symptom of some issue in the Tor network.
Recently I turned up nineteen additional nodes on that server and they're averaging 60Mbps of overall throughput. CPU load is still 0.00.

While I can't speak for the Australian problem, I do want to highlight that you can only have two TOR processes per IP.
"Note that running more than two tor processes per IP address will result in those other nodes not being used on the network. You'll see the following message in your logs:
[notice] Heartbeat: It seems like we are not in the cached consensus."
(source: https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server - It probably is in the spec somewhere but I didn't have the right search term)

Jeremy,
Yea I noticed that too. So, I ended up putting them all on different IP's. Working well so far.
Cheers, Jon
