[tor-relays] What kind of hardware do I need for my relay

[Farid Joubbi]

I do mean Megabits.
I have learned a long time ago that Tor traffic throughput can't be compared with ssh.
Tor needs to sustain the traffic amount for a long period of time with many variables affecting the measured bandwidth.

Also I would prefer to run OpenBSD, which does not have support for AES-NI by design (last time I checked).

You do mean Mbit/s and not Mbyte/s? Even my old raspi B (first gen)
needs only 30% CPU to process 12MBit/s (ssh), and my bananas transfer
data via scp at 6 MByte/s (also ssh).
