Thanks to all for the feedback. That Torflow works from links slower than those of the fastest relays seems to indicate it's measuring relative path resistance as much or more than absolute bandwidth. I often see it produce sensible results and hope that some tuning and fixing might produce be

Yep, I've run Mike Perry's code before. It's all in torflow. I was also on a 1 gbits link, but as I recall it wasn't that saturated so you might be able to get away with a 500 mbits. I last ran his scripts back in July, and the logs and other saved data consumed all remaining disk space. I don'

A 10GB network connection is not a requirement, 1GB would be fine, 500MB would also be fine. Mine is 4 core, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5606 @ 2.13GHz w/ 8GB of RAM. Everything is in torflow, I'm not aware of any other code. -tom On 2 November 2015 at 17:26, wrote: > I am considering starting up a

I am considering starting up a passive BWauth in order to understand how they work and fix bugs. What is the minimum and ideal hardware configuration for a BWauth? Have my eye on an OVH config with unmetered 1G, a fuzzy promise of 500mbps minimum bandwidth and a 3.4GHz 4core/8thread AES-NI CPU:
