o Minor bugfixes (man page):
- Say "KBytes" rather than "KB" in the man page (for various values
of K), to further reduce confusion about whether Tor counts in
units of memory or fractions of units of memory. Fixes bug 7054.

**BandwidthRate** __N__ **bytes**|**KBytes**|**MBytes**|**GBytes**::
A token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth usage on this node to
the specified number of bytes per second, and the average outgoing
bandwidth usage to that same value. If you want to run a relay in the
public network, this needs to be _at the very least_ 30 KB (that is,
30720 bytes). (Default: 1 GB)

**MaxAdvertisedBandwidth** __N__ **bytes**|**KBytes**|**MBytes**|**GBytes**::
If set, we will not advertise more than this amount of bandwidth for our
BandwidthRate. Server operators who want to reduce the number of clients
who ask to build circuits through them (since this is proportional to
advertised bandwidth rate) can thus reduce the CPU demands on their server
without impacting network performance.

If not 0, a separate token bucket limits the average incoming bandwidth
usage for \_relayed traffic_ on this node to the specified number of bytes
per second, and the average outgoing bandwidth usage to that same value.
Relayed traffic currently is calculated to include answers to directory
requests, but that may change in future versions. (Default: 0)

You should never need to change this value, since a network-wide value is
published in the consensus and your relay will use that value. (Default: 0)

Never send more than the specified number of bytes in a given accounting

AccountingMax set to 1 GB, a server could send 900 MB and receive 800 MB

GB. When the number of bytes gets low, Tor will stop accepting new
connections and circuits. When the number of bytes

before waking up. If you have bandwidth cost issues, enabling hibernation
