Circuit creation happens within the Tor protocol. How many circuit
Is my observation of hundreds/thousands of outbound TCP connections from the Tor node simply because I "hot restarted" it when it already had a lot of circuits open (without much bandwidth going through them, oddly, I've seen it with 1200 circuits and 40KB/sec going through) *before* the "storm" hit? In other words, a circuit creation storm may not have anything to do with number or rate of inbound TCP connections (or outbound)?
You can decrease how much bandwidth you appear to have with "MaxAdvertisedBandwidth", but you already knew that.
I get that, but I wonder if MaxAvailableCircuits could/should be a thing. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJSCRE+AAoJED/jpRoe7/ujiaMIAIN0+3k4uGItoJfiAoeX00QD x3W9nYHwVapxYkfQlDq5dkpY/x5MuK/yj3qFcdtnBehUGhi8yl+0+hSQ/EDkRLkx B6USPWK69MU26fxitfTQBQK3lFjEf68oNcJOVFbJJ1PwNy1kHDTJEC1jO5rX/Bsa RK4fJp/V9tSANoH6P1NBYExgj/5hSraRNV3JChRm2KfIx2wXzsFlEOGILtefYBBU ymEuNN9LEBysoEtyVZbtl3v3GVNtXSLbpSfZijx1zR53z+1RWoNKmEq0ZoSvebVj yCyxYZQPSU+dp9K4roYU9OMoOb8ImpQ8FSmwqxyBlBHP71IfZ4+Ganad9LwqL/k= =UojE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
