why is the traffic not more linear?

[Michael Gomboc]

I changed the AccountingMax now to 20GB. No tor isn't hibernating any more
and the server is now online for 2 days.

The traffic yesterday:

                    rx     |     tx     |  total
    -----------------------+------------+-----------
    yesterday      5272 MB |    5356 MB |   10629 MB

spends lots of the day hibernating waiting for the next accounting
period to start.

*No, it was only hibernating at the very end of the accounting period
because of the 100kb/s limit.*

*
Is the limit of 100kb/s outgoing and incoming together?*

*regards,
Michael*
