I am almost certain that all three options apply to bridges as well. Note that BandwidthRate applies to all TCP data (not the TCP headers or DNS traffic), while RelayBandwidth* applies to the _relayed traffic_ only. > I noticed the following in the manual: > > If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling hibernation is preferable > to setting a low bandwidth, since it provides users with a collection > of fast servers that are up some of the time, which is more useful > than a set of slow servers that are always "available". > > Does that advice apply equally to bridges, assuming that the > Accounting options do apply.

Bridges are required to provide at least 1 Mbit/s bandwidth, but I can't find anything related to uptime requirements (except for the two hours a day minimum). I'd say that the advice therefore also applies to bridges. The Tor client software can be configured to use multiple bridges. Imre
