Thanks for the tip.

This is not consistent with the 200 bit/s figure. Do you mean to say that Atlas rounds 200 bps on the average to 8000 bps on the average? >> Consensus BW: 26 = >> >> ~ 26,000 bit/s >This is the low-median of the measurements of the 5 bandwidth authorities.

Can't comment because I have no idea what the formula is, therefore this figure is meaningless to me. >> Average upload bw reported by arm: 100 kb/s = >> ~ 100,000 bit/s >I suspect this is actually kilobytes, and is the same as the atlas figure. >(They use the same backend library.) This would not be consistent at all with actual reported upload of 17 mbytes in 6 hours which as I said is pretty constant. The ~100 Kb/s average bit rate figure reported by arm lingers for HOURS. This rate,s 17 MB would have been sent in THREE MINUTES. If the rate were 100 kbyte/s as you suggest then it would take the relay 22 SECONDS to send what it claims it is sending in 6 hours. >> Makes zero sense. Still doesn't. Why do Tor and Tor-related projects such as arm publish all these TOTALLY inconsiostent figures? If they want to confuse the adversaries I doubt that it worked, but they sure as hell were highly successful in confusing me :) _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
