[tor-relays] Very high CPU Load and low Traffic since Sunday

Hello

I've noticed a reduction in tor traffic about 50% since Sunday. The cpu load stayed almost same. The amount of TCP Sessions increased from ~34k to ~65k. Also the abuse rated about network scans got increased since Sunday.

Does anyone knows what's there going on?

My guess is that since Sunday anyone uses Tor for extended network scans, which results in a very high packet rate.

Personally I've no problem with some network scans, but this is a bit annoying and I asked myself if this is still a scan or more a DOS.
