(from tor-relays)
Content-wise, there were some pretty fruitful discussion, but we spent quite a bit
- What's the most useful thing I can bring to the network?
(TL;DR: Ideally, fast relays (if possible exits); if you can't contribute
more than 1MB/s, make it a bridge)
I like 1MByte/s (8MBit/s) as the "limit" between relay vs. bridge, currently we mention
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#HowDoIDecide
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#RelayRequirements
I'll go ahead and make 8 MBit/s the lower limit (and keep "It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 MBit/s (Mbps)")
unless there are strong opinions against it.
Hi,

to have all places consistent, are you open to increase the minimal values in
the tor man page for relays to 8 MBit/s (and bridges to 1 MBit/s) or
other greater than the current values?

currently it says:

BandwidthRate N
[...] If you want to run a
relay in the public network, this needs to be at the very least 75
KBytes for a relay (that is, 600 kbits) or 50 KBytes for a bridge
(400 kbits) but of course, more is better; we recommend at least
250 KBytes (2 mbits) if possible.

If you are open to it I'll submit a patch via trac.
