What are the minimum requirements for Tor relay?

It is recommended that a relay have at least 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) upload bandwidth and 16 Mbit/s (Mbps) download bandwidth available for Tor. More is better. The minimum requirements for a relay are 10 Mbit/s (Mbps). If you have less than 10 Mbit/s but at least 1 Mbit/s we recommend you run a bridge with obfs4 support.

What is the requirement for BigFix relay?

The BigFix relay must have a two-way TCP connection to its parent (which can be a server or another relay). The Fixlet to install the relay requires at least Internet Explorer 5.0 or later versions to work correctly. For BigFix Version 9.5 Patch 19 and later, this requirement is no longer needed.

How much RAM does Tor use?

All of this said, fast Tor relays do use a lot of ram. It is not unusual for a fast exit relay to use 500-1000 MB of memory.

What is a Tor relay?

Tor relays are also referred to as "routers" or "nodes." They receive traffic on the Tor network and pass it along. Check out the Tor website for a more detailed explanation of how Tor works. There are three kinds of relays that you can run in order to help the Tor network: middle relays, exit relays, and bridges.
