Re: TOR Park Exit Node Question



Hi,

It looks as if you have to set the following config options higher:

BandwidthRate N bytes|KB|MB|GB|TB
    A token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth on this node to
the specified number of bytes per second. (Default: 2 MB)
BandwidthBurst N bytes|KB|MB|GB|TB
    Limit the maximum token bucket size (also known as the burst) to the
given number of bytes. (Default: 5 MB)

If you look at what the routers advertise (I assume masquerade is yours):
masquerade:
bandwidth 2097152 5242880 447444

Tonga:
bandwidth 8388608 20971520 4825335

From the Tor spec:
   "bandwidth" bandwidth-avg bandwidth-burst bandwidth-observed

      Estimated bandwidth for this router, in bytes per second.  The
      "average" bandwidth is the volume per second that the OR is willing
      to sustain over long periods; the "burst" bandwidth is the volume
      that the OR is willing to sustain in very short intervals.  The
      "observed" value is an estimate of the capacity this server can
      handle.  The server remembers the max bandwidth sustained output
      over any ten second period in the past day, and another sustained
      input.  The "observed" value is the lesser of these two numbers.


hope this helps.
