Recently I upgraded the switch on which my Tor relay sits from an FS108 (unmanaged switch) to a Ubiquiti US-8 (managed), and the traffic throughput of the relay approximately doubled, recently hitting an all-time high of 3.15 MBit/s average speed, with 32 GB transferred total in a single 24-hour period. I'm still trying to figure out how having a managed switch worked this magic. Granted, I also increased the max bandwidth rates permitted, but the change in traffic was noticeable before that increase.

Update: A colleague suggested QoS as the most likely improvement in a managed switch.
