I don’t understand very well this fact, but CPU can be the bottleneck even if load or CPU usage not at full capacity. One of my Tor guard relay have the same CPU behaviour (see screenshot enclosed). 2 instances at 50-60% CPU usage (as reported by htop), load around 0.70-0.80 (4 cores), RAM at 20% (400MB/2GB) but bandwidth not saturated (20Mbps only on a 200Mbps line). Perhaps because of the multiple changes of context (AES crypto, Tor software logic, network IO…) and so a lot of wait/IRQ (as visible on the screen) and not a fully used CPU. > Also seems unclear why it didn't get the guard flag for so long, does your > public IP address change from time to time?

Babylonian seems to be on the lower part of guard relay (2146/2313), possible it hadn’t enough bandwith before end of august to get guard flags ? Only the 25% fastest relays can get the guard flag. Today it’s around 2.5 MBps advertised / 1MBps measured. Babylonian is just at the limit (2.45MBps advertised, 600kBps measured). <3, -- Aeris Individual crypto-terrorist group self-radicalized on the digital Internet https://imirhil.fr/ Protect your privacy, encrypt your communications GPG : EFB74277 ECE4E222 OTR : 5769616D 2D3DAC72 https://café-vie-privée.fr/
