I allowed the bridge bandwidth decay over a couple of days back to 8KBbyte, which seems to be the floor. "Fast" flag was dropped. After about a day that way, the bridge/relay daemon started running an occasional "bandwidth self-test", the rate went up to 60KB and the "fast" flag returned. Appear

Bridge behavior is decidedly different than normal relay behavior--I've been running one for a year. Normal relays get poked fairly often by the four "BWAuth" bandwidth authorities and bandwidth starts at 20KB and rises steadily from the get-go. I suppose the bandwidth calculation is passive in b

I don't have that much knowledge on bridges, but I think it's the same as with relays: The speed increases after some time. I'm running 29E3D95332812F81F67FF31B3B1B842683D1C309 and as you can see from the graphs the speed increased slowly after the start. On saturday I increased the advertised ban

Oops. The "rate limit" I quoted is actually the limit on the DOCSIS modem here, not on the VPS. Probably not 'iptables' traffic shaping after all. Using 'speedtest_cli.py' the max rate has been showing 100 Mbits/sec, but I discount that because the speedtest node appears to reside in the same da
