[tor-talk] Guard flag vs relay bandwidth

2012-11-14 Thread Roman Mamedov
Hello, I am looking for ways to optimize several relay nodes to ensure maximum possible bandwidth consumption. The actual numbers I have are within 20-50 megabits in one direction per node (i.e. not the gigabit-scale tuning discussed in the FAQ). From what I can tell the Guard flag affects routed
