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 thank you! tor7

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. T

I'm asking to find out which CPU to buy (I don't have the hardware yet to test and would like to find out before buying), that is why I was asking others for their eperience.

I was curious, is this expected output? chutney/tools/test-network.sh --data-bytes 104857600 test-network.sh: using CHUTNEY_DNS_CONF '/dev/null' test-network.sh: no $TOR_DIR, chutney will use $PATH for tor binaries test-network.sh: $CHUTNEY_PATH not valid, using this script's location Using Python 2.7.14 Sending SIGINT to nodes Waiting for nodes to finish.

You asked: Is this the expected output?

No, it looks like "test009" failed to launch. Maybe one of its ports conflicts with an existing service on your machine? I also forgot that we changed the default network to a big network. If you pass "--flavour basic-min" to the script, you'll get a minimal network. And the results will be much more reliable. I think it only has 5 tor instances, so it should launch ok, too. T
