[tor-relays] My exit's traffic isn't rising, is this normal?

[Jesse Victors]

Hello everyone,

I run https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/1946F5E4748B069D3B989B5AF50C7DDD3AC61859 and from the graphs it's clear that the traffic has roughly leveled off, rather than continue to climb. I generated a new key after Heartbleed, so it's been up for nearly three months. The bandwidth cap is set at about 100 MB/sec, (gigabit connection) which it's not even close to reaching. There's plenty of CPU available, and by all rights its got enough resources. At this rate, I've no idea how it is supposed to grow and help Tor more.

For comparison, when I look at https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/D3BDECB920E0B7543AD2BA7BF573F7B0F37F7B0F, one of the Top 10 relays, I see the traffic growing much at a much higher rate, and https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/F3B57BB429B4CA82A844B713E42666DF4BF7B8EE is another example. What are they doing that I'm not?

Another of my exits, https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/2FC06226AE152FBAB7620BB107CDEF0E70876A7B, is on a downward trend, yet has the same configuration as my first one. What can I do to reverse it?

Thanks,
Jesse V.
