Currently, big relays are not really overloaded. We have 55Gbps on guards, and overall bandwidth used at only 50%. https://metrics.torproject.org/bwhist-flags.html https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html > There are 850 MB unused memory on my $35 Pi relay that is used to 7% of its link capacity. On Pi, bottleneck is not RAM, but CPU to do crypto. Because no AES-NI extension on the CPU and very low CPU benchmark (AES256 30MBps max, compared to 500MBps with i5). And there is also an hardware bottleneck, because every components (mainly ethernet & SD card here) are connected to the same physical USB controller limited to 480Mbps for *overall* transfer (network + disk + others USB). > HUNDRED GB of RAM? I believe you mean hundred MB? In this case ditto. No no, GB. 128GB is usual on server. We even begin to see 1TB RAM machine.
