If a tor relay has a circuit built through a peer, and the peer starts dropping 100% of packets, how long will it take before the relay with the circuit "gives up" on the circuit and tears it down? I want to set my temp ban time *below* this timeout. Thus, unlucky peers that were caught in the filter and have circuits already built through the relay they will experience a brief performance degradation, but they won't lose their active circuits through the overloaded relay, and in the meantime hopefully the overload condition is becoming resolved.
Might it be better to actually cause the connecting client to tear down the circuit instead of degrading performance? If your relay is already being swamped by circuit-creation requests, it might be better to cause clients to build new circuits, hopefully not using your relay, no?
