Does this mean that at present, the service builds a new IP circuit (to a new IP?) every time it receives a connection? If so, is it the IP or the service that closes the old circuit?
Not quite. When the service (instance, or instances) select an introduction point, a circuit to that introduction point is built. This is a long term circuit, through which the RELAY_COMMAND_INTRODUCE2 cells can be sent. This circuit enables the IP to contact the service when a client asks it to do so.
Currently, any IP's will close any existing circuits which are for a common purpose and service.
Thanks for the explanation!
