[tor-relays] Unwarranted discrimination of relays with dynamic IP

[Tristan]

Perhaps this IS in fact normal. I ran a Tor relay on a Raspberry Pi for a
while. My speed was about 1Mbps max, similar to your 1.5Mbps. I saw minimal
traffic, and the consensus weight never went above 20.

I'm not running a relay at home anymore because of the slow speeds. The
configuration guide mentions having at least 250KBytes or 2Mbps, and even
relays that have 2Mbps probably won't see much traffic since there's plenty
of faster middle relays.

5kbit/s traffic and consensus weight of 14 after running for a month,
including last 9 days with the same IP and a Stable flag - you consider
this normal?

Rana,

Your relay is actually getting about as much traffic as a middle relay of
that size should expect.

When you change the IP address, it takes a while to re-establish that
traffic, as it should, due to the reasons I mentioned in my original email.
