If the donated bandwidth is to low, the relay will (maybe only currently) not being used. I have 5 relays running. One at me home DSL connection (3Mb/s download, 512Kb/s upload) with 168 Kb/s donated bandwidth . Average bandwidth usage 15Kb/s. It is almost unused. Another node runs at a cable modem connection (32Mb/s down, 2,5 Mb/s up) and 1,4Mb/s donated bandwidth. Average usage 840 Kb/s. Then I have a root server with two instances. One is under the top 40 TOR nodes. Heavy usage around the clock always 1500-2000 concurrent connections. Average 20 Mb/s. My impression is that from point of view of bandwidth it is useless to have these small relays. Although they help to increase the number of servers and make it more difficult for an attacker to monitor the TOR network. Maybe one of the developer can explain these observations. Regards, Klaus
