Re: [tor-relays] Consensus Weight Definiton

Dear Keifer,

I run a small relay at home as well.  (I've never had more than 4,000/4,500 connections, and my home router seems to have had no problem.)  However, guessing from the tor docs on my ISP that I should keep my monthly throughput to 1TB or so, I put some daily bandwidth limits on it.  Before the dos mitigation came out a couple of months ago, I would hit the limits every other day or so, and my relay would shut down until midnight.  So I never had a stable flag for months, and still had plenty of traffic.  

HTH,

--torix

However another thing that is confusing me a little is that based off of my research, relays without the stable flag shouldn’t recurve much traffic; mine says it’s received a few gigabytes since the downtime 1 day ago. Thank you. It is acceptable not to have the stable flag and still be useful to the network correct? Thank you very much.
