Re: [tor-relays] Running gigabit relay

[Mitar <mmitar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have deployed it:

https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/567E9785458C605E59202755C74898E3C96FB1CC

On gigabit fiber, using this NUC:

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/126140/intel-nuc-kit-nuc8i7beh.html

Now I just have to wait for traffic to build-up to see if it can
really achieve gigabit. Is there any way to speed this process up? Is
there anyone who would like to do some circuits through the node to
exercise its bandwidth a bit?
