Bandwidth not used by Tor on very fast connections
I've installed a tor relay on a KVM system (windows server 2012) that has a very fast connection to the internet (1Gbps), and despite me setting royal bandwidth limits for the relay to use, it advertises as 20 kb/s (the minimum) and is therefore not using any of the available bandwidth.
I assume it's caused by the bandwidth self-check not getting sane results.
A note on the setup: Although the KVM has a virtual NIC by name (as an Intel Pro/1000 MT), the NIC itself never returns any throughput data; the overall network measurement (network layer measurement) in resource monitor works fine, however. I gather this is a KVM oddity, but there's no way to bypass this self-check in tor either in case of problems. I assume it would set to 20KB/s if it gets "0" as a result.
