Re: why is the traffic not more linear?

[Michael Gomboc <michael.gomboc@xxxxxxxxx>]

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?

for me it seems the graph is fine. though the node so seldom hits
beyond 80000bps

before i experienced a flat line for several days. i didn't go below
my max speed for several days. a literal flat line to the max for
about 2-3 days.
