Hey, I am running the following relay, and never see traffic going more than 250k. Is Comcast throttling non-exit tor proxies? https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/7E6183143778259F025576A5803E3334AB95CB...

Do you have 4Mbit/s uplink? That would be the 250k which is kBytes/s, not kBit/s.

Hmm. I'm not sure whether that looks like being rate-limited.

That's 2Mbit/s i'd say. I don't know what ISP that is but I think private "home connections" sometimes are not as reliable as connections in server plans from hosting companys.

Correct. I chalk that up to my cold. :-(

At least 2MBit sounds more plausible than 4MBit.

I think you guys are right, thanks.
The question I have now however is, should I set my RelayBandwidth limit to 250k?
Currently the advertised bandwidth is 1MB/s, which doesn't see right.
Thanks, Steve

You should definitely rate limit (both rate and burst) to slightly under your actual capacity, especially if you're on an asymmetric link like comcast.
Otherwise your relay happily reads plenty, since the download is so fast, and then drops it all on the floor when it tries to upload it again.
For many more details here, see my HAR 2009 video: https://blog.torproject.org/har2009-video-tor-performance

As with bittorrent, it appears somewhat important to set your bandwidth, in particular burst bandwidth (the higher of the two), to some figure below your maximum physical (achieved not ISP advertised) bandwidth. I think.
The reason is that if outgoing gets saturated, this can cause problems for various control packets, and for me was causing up to 15s heartbeat timeouts - I still haven't solved the "unresponsive" ARM_NOTICE messages though - here's an example: 20:30:18 [ARM_NOTICE] Relay unresponsive (last heartbeat: Sat Mar 1 20:30:06 2014)
Good luck Zenaan
Looks much better now. Thanks!
