This page shows tunnels built by and routed through your router.
<ul>
<li>
<b>Exploratory:</b> Tunnels built by your router and used for communication with the floodfill peers, building new tunnels, and testing existing tunnels.
</li>
<li>
<b>Client:</b> Tunnels built by your router for each client's use.
</li>
<li>
<b>Participating:</b> Tunnels built by other routers through your router.
This may vary widely depending on network demand, your shared bandwidth, and amount of locally-generated traffic.
The recommended method for limiting participating tunnels is to change your share percentage on the <a href="config">Bandwidth Configuration page</a>.
You may also limit the total number by setting <code>router.maxParticipatingTunnels=nnn</code> on the <a href="configadvanced">Advanced configuration page</a>.
<b>Share Ratio:</b> The number of participating tunnels you route for others, divided by the total number of hops in all your exploratory and client tunnels.
A number greater than 1.00 means you are contributing more tunnels to the network than you are using.
