Re: [tor-relays] One IPv4 address, 1Gbit connection

[Christian Dietrich <christian.d.dietrich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

You will never be able to utilize the whole gigabit connection, at least with the current tor version.

I'm also running 2 tor nodes (00000000000myTOR)Âon a single machine (3rd gen Core i, Quad Core /w AES-NI) on an single IP,

reaching ~1.3 Gbit/s on an 1000 Base-T FD connection. Since you do not use hardware accelerated crypto,

your transfer speed should be much lower. Anway my relays are also cpu limited due to the fact that tor isn't

really utilizing much more than one cpu core.

Hi,

I'm running a Tor exit node on a 1gbit connection. Currently it's maxing at about 180Mbit/s (both ways, so 360Mbit/s) per instance, and I'm running two instances.

That's not really using the connection well. The box has 4 cores (no AES-NI) and I'm looking for ways to utilize the other 640Mbit/s.

Sadly it's not possible to get more IPv4 addresses on this box. I do however have access to a big range of IPv6 addresses.

Can I somehow run more Tor instances on this box by utilizing those IPv6 addresses? Or are there other ways to optimize the throughput and get closer to that 1Gbit?

Tom
