Hi everybody

Circuit storms observed of up to 100k and 250k per relay for over hours. Consumed BW rises by about 10%. Number of stateful server connections is higher. Using Tor 356 to 401.

Anybody else observes that?

Only way I know to check circuits is in the heartbeat log entry. This is from my non-exit relay 855BC2DABE24C861CD887DB9B2E950424B49FC34 (times are CET):

The last entries shows some peaks but it doesn't look like a sustained thing. "Normal" is around 30k as far as I can see.
