[tor-relays] Running gigabit relay



Hi!

I have Sonic Fiber which offers gigabit symmetric connection. I am
thinking of using it for gigabit Tor relay, but I wonder what would be
good hardware to use for something like that. Information I have found
[1] is from 2010 so I wonder if there are any updates? Is there any
simple small box I could use? Like Intel NUC? Information here [2]
says that one can get 400 Mbps with AES-NI. And so with two processes
limit per my public IP this would be around 800 Mbps then. Is this
still a reasonable expectation? Do I have to care about the network
card to serve gigabit (besides its being nominally gigabit)? What
would be memory requirements for such a device?
