[tor-relays] Scoreboard enhancements / Trying Trusted Tor Traceroutes

[Sebastian Urbach]

Hi Renke,

Do you care to elaborate  ? If you need assistance we can talk via private 
mail as well ...

Bandwidth consumption is very low as you possible read on the project site. 
Do you run the test with scamper and or did you turn down the scanning speed ?

The question remains why did many relay ops canceled the test before 
completion. As the scoreboard shows most of them would have completed the 
test in the estimated lowest time frame (around 4 days). The estimated max. 
time is about 24 days not 96 if you choose to run with traceroute and the 
default values instead of scamper.

My best guess is that even 4 days was too long.  After the test was started 
they wondered how long it would take and checked back with the faq, then 
decided to quit. Call it a hunch ;-)

My system, as an example, took about 2 days and 23 hours to complete the 
run. I use scamper with the default settings. You can also turn up the pps 
value and finish even faster.

How long will this take?:

How much bandwidth, disk space, RAM, and CPU will this consume?:

my (low-bandwith) relay is trace-routing since 4 days and completed a
mere 15 % of all checks :)
