And just came to my mind reading this, that to stop these attacks we could implement some authentication based on Proof of Work or something like that. This means that to launch such an attack the attacker (client level) should compute the PoW and must have many computing power, while normal clients/users don't need almost any change. Actually this is what PoW is very useful.
Check out https://bugs.torproject.org/25066 for more details on this idea.
There are still some interesting design questions to be resolved before it's really a proposed idea.
