commit 5cbb25ee575a0b58493f5bd4d5675eb7409589a9 Author: Karsten Loesing karsten.loesing@gmx.net Date: Mon Jan 20 11:56:21 2020 +0100

Explain onion service traffic graphs a bit better.

As discussed on the ticket, we can explain better which cells are counted for onion service traffic graphs: it's cells relayed by rendezvous points.

It was also confusing to say "per day" in the graph description when bandwidth is in gigabits per second. Removed that part.

Finally, there's now a glossary entry for "rendezvous points" that is based on the glossary entry in torspec.
