Re: [tor-relays] Bridge Relay Internet Speed Much Slower Than Actual Internet Speed

Hi Keifer,

Hello List, my bridge relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/148BD64BED9F2C27637D986DE032ECF14E5B9E9A

Is reporting the relay speed is between 50 kb/s and 60 kb/s, when the speed of the internet connection it is running off of is actually much faster than this, generally about 50mbps (the relay is running on a home internet connection, where the isp is Charter Communications / Spectrum). As a result, I have the “fast” flag on/off randomly.

I do not want my bridge to suck up a huge amount of my internet speed, but why would the  tor software report relay speed that is so much slower than the speed of the internet connection it runs off of?

Any thoughts are appreciated, thank you

The advertised bandwidth is not the bandwidth of your
connection but the bandwidth observed.
Your relay probably hasn't been used as a relay so far.
When it's being used the advertised bandwidth will rise.
Are bridges chosen based on their advertised bandwidth?
