Hello,
I had to move my exit relay to another VPS due to the provider getting annoyed by the abuse mails. The new VPS has exactly the same software setup but only 512 instead of 1024 Mb RAM. Traffic was/is around 45 Mbit/s on both. On the new VPS I get the following message (from time to time lots of them):
"kernel: [XXXXXX.XXXXXX] TCP: too many orphaned sockets"
which I've never seen on the old VPS. Memory consumption is as follows:
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 492560 465600 26960 348 9852 74476 -/+ buffers/cache: 381272 111288 Swap: 1998844 40956 1957888
I'm unsure if I should limit the maxbandwidth in torrc or try to tune the kernel settings (like /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_max_orphans /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_mem) and which of them? Ordering 1024 Gb of RAM would double the cost and could be an option after I got more experience with the new provider and abuse mails.
Thanks for any advice!

i'm unable to assist you with these errors, but are you able to share the past and new offers with the Tor community? we'd love to run more exit relays and help mediate the situation with the former provider to ensure that more relays can be run on their networks.

I already updated the wiki about the past. With the new I'll wait till I got some relyable experience how they deal with exit node. shouldn't take to long, today came the first abuse message.
On the new VPS I get the following message (from time to time lots of them):
"kernel: [XXXXXX.XXXXXX] TCP: too many orphaned sockets"
I'd look at "net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans". Some VPS providers add their own defaults to /etc/sysctl.conf, so you might want to check there and see if it's already set, or otherwise add your own value. The Mozilla relays use a value of 262144.
