[tor-relays] Tor 0.3.2.9 Linux - first period fine, since today lots of: Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests!

[Stijn Jonker]

Hi All,

Is this a "known" issue, my non-exit relay has been running for over a 
year, and although with the recent issues (attack / network issue or the 
likes) with some ipfilter kunfu it managed to get through the storm 
pretty well. Now all of a sudden since early today my logs are flooded 
with:

Jan 18 11:34:44 tornode Tor[65839]: Your computer is too slow to handle 
this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the 
MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit 
policy. [204844 similar message(s) suppressed in last 60 seconds]

First message is at Jan 18 07:17:13, last just Jan 18 11:37:44, when 
adding the # of circuits up, total in ~4 hours: 18033820 being 18 
Million, which feels a bit much, but don't have any figures to compare. 
On the current hardware this never seemed to be an issue, not even by 
far it was normally (according to ESXi) at ~400-500mhz, now it's using 2 
vCPU's at ~4000Mhz.

Now of course I can lower the bandwidth, but if these are low bandwidth 
circuits then lowering the bandwidth from 10Mbyte/sec (peak 
12,5Mbyte/sec) to a lower value might actually not resolve it.

Anybody seeing this as well and/or ideas / advice etc?


Stijn
