BandwidthBurst should set BandwidthRate
Summary
tor
should set BandwidthRate
when BandwidthBurst
is set.
torrc
:
...
BandwidthBurst 10MBits
...
$ sudo -u debian-tor tor --verify-config
...
[warn] Failed to parse/validate config: BandwidthBurst must be at least equal to BandwidthRate.
[err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
What is the expected behavior?
Setting only BandwidthBurst 10 MBits
and no BandwidthRate
means, in this example, 10 MBit/s is the upper bound i can offer to the onionservice and tor
should set the appropriate BandwidthRate
that works best with it.
The user can't know the appropriate value.
It took me a while to figure out that tor
expects BandwidthRate
to be set when BandwidthBurst
is set because it doesn't write anything to the logfile and sudo systemctl status tor
shows active
although [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.
(what may be a bug).
