<h2>Sidebar Information</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many of the stats on the sidebar may be <a href="configstats">configured</a> to be <a href="graphs">graphed</a> for further analysis.
|
|
You may also customize the sections that appear on the Sidebar and their positioning on the <a href="configsidebar">Sidebar Configuration page</a>.

<h3>Router Info</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Local Identity:</b>
|
|
If you hover over the "Router Info" heading, your truncated router identity will be shown (the first four characters (24 bits) of your 44-character (256-bit) Base64 router hash).
|
|
The full hash is shown on your <a href="netdb?r=.">Network Database entry</a>.
|
|
Never reveal this to anyone, as your router identity is uniquely linked to your IP address in the network database.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Clock Skew:</b>
|
|
The skew (offset) of your computer's clock relative to the network-synced time (if known).
|
|
I2P requires your computer's time be accurate.
|
|
If the skew is more than a few seconds, please correct the problem by adjusting your computer's time.
|
|
If I2P cannot connect to the internet, a reading of 0ms may be indicated.
|
|
<b>Note:</b> This is only displayed in the "Router Information (advanced)" section.
|
|
You may add this section to your Sidebar on the <a href="configsidebar">Sidebar Configuration page</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Peers</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Active:</b> The first number is the number of peers your router has sent or received a message from in the last few minutes.
|
|
This may range from 8-10 to several hundred, depending on your total bandwidth, shared bandwidth, and locally-generated traffic.
|
|
The second number is the number of peers seen in the last hour or so.
|
|
Do not be concerned if these numbers vary widely.
|
|
<a href="configstats#router.activePeers">[Enable graphing]</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Fast:</b> This is the number of peers your router has available for building client tunnels.
|
|
It is generally in the range 8-30. Your fast peers are shown on the <a href="profiles">Profiles page</a>.
|
|
<a href="configstats#router.fastPeers">[Enable graphing]</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>High Capacity:</b>
|
|
This is the number of peers your router has available for building your exploratory tunnels which are used to determine network performance.
|
|
It is generally in the range 8-75.
|
|
The fast peers are included in the high capacity tier.
|
|
Your high capacity peers are shown on the <a href="profiles">Profiles page</a>.
|
|
<a href="configstats#router.highCapacityPeers">[Enable graphing]</a>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Integrated:</b> This is the number of peers your router will use for network database inquiries.
|
|
These are usually the "floodfill" routers which are responsible for maintaining network integrity.
|
|
Your well integrated peers are shown on the bottom of the <a href="profiles">Profiles page</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<b>Known:</b> This is the total number of peers that are known by your router.
|
|
They are listed on the <a href="netdb">Network Database page</a>.
|
|
This may range from under 100 to 1000 or more.
|
|
This number is not the total size of the network; it may vary widely depending on your total bandwidth, shared bandwidth, and locally-generated traffic.
|
|
I2P does not require a router to know every other router in the network.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> This section indicates your average bandwidth speeds and total usage for the session.
|
|
All values are in bytes per second, not bits per second.
|
|
You may change your bandwidth limits on the <a href="config">Bandwidth Configuration page</a>.
|
|
The more bandwidth you make available, the more you help the network and improve your own anonymity, so please take the time to review the settings.
|
|
If you are unsure of your network's speed, using a service such as <a href="https://speedtest.net/">SpeedTest</a> or similar will give you a good indication of your bandwidth capability.
|
|
Your upstream share amount (KBps Out) will determine your overall contribution to the network.
|
|
Bandwidth is <a href="graphs">graphed</a> by default.</p>
