Re: [tor-relays] Tor node was doing more traffic than its bandwidthis configured for



Yeah, this must be wrong, then.

I put this in the torrc:

RelayBandwidthRate 35 MB
RelayBandwidthBurst 40 MB

and I was looking to limit it to 35-40 "M" as shown in Cacti, which would be MBits.

Are you sure you didn't confuse bits and bytes? Tor counts in bytes.

(The arm monitor, if that's what you're using, counts in bits by default.)

As with real networks and operators, if this is so, then big thank
you to arm people for correctly counting network bandwidth in bps.
No thanks on webhosters and isp's who convert their upstrream
bandwidth contracts into transfer bytes and pass that on to their
customers for their apache logs, thereby spoofing hosted network
*bandwidth* apps like Tor into feeling some silly need to count bytes.
Do wish Tor would speak properly in bits by default.
