What?!! 300MB/s for a Tor node? OK, I'm a telecom guy and not a data guy but that sounds suspiciously like someone loaded up an OC-3's worth of traffic
300Mbits (using Eugen's quote), is 2xOC-3. (OC-3 carries 155Mbit/sec ATM, but if it's IP/PPP/OC-3 you use more of the 155Mbits/sec). A couple of hacked university zombie armies can generate that kind of traffic. I'm *not* a telecom guy, but don't most U's have at least an OC-3 out to the backbones today? I'm surprised that the target node has that much INBOUND bandwidth, quite frankly. Dan
