Hi Patrick,

I recommend that you just try it. Many people run several instances on
the same hardware (even on same VMs) to saturate their line. You can
just try if running a second relay will consume more bw.

>> - basically, would it have any significant added value to the network?

I can stress what s7r said: If it increases overall bandwidth, it is
definately added value to the network.

Regards,

Matthias
