Hi,

1- Is it ok for the Guard flag to come and go so often? I do not see anything wrong with my relay and it is pushing up to 12MBs at times.
From what i can see the numbers are way lower than that. Recently the
criterias to qualify as a guard changed, i assume that you drop out of the guard position because you don't make the cut all the time. If im not mistaken the number of guards dropped roughly 50 % after the changes were implemented.
Most of the time, my relay pushes between 3-7MB/s constantly and that's fine. But there are occasions in which I see it spike and send out as much as 12MB/s
I'm struggling with the numbers, if you take a look at the graphs you are not getting this much traffic. Maybe your system is under attack (DoS, DDoS) ? It does not look like it's regular Tor traffic ...
