P.S:

If this is a client to guard detection only, then why does my exit node also block a significant amount of DoS (I had around the same statistics when my guard probability fraction was still zero, so clearly something is working):

Aug 09 21:08:36 matrix tor[XXX]: Aug 09 21:08:36.000 [notice] Heartbeat: DoS mitigation since startup: 6 circuits killed with too many cells, 865308797 circuits rejected, 691 marked addresses, 0 marked addresses for max queue, 0 same address concurrent connections rejected, 0 connections rejected, 0 single hop clients refused, 0 INTRODUCE2 rejected.

Thank you,

George

No.
DoS has been a topic of conversation at nearly all relay meetings for over 2
years. Enkidu and Toralf have developed Tor-ddos IPtables rules for the
community. Article10 specifically for Tor exits and trinity has developed the
patch.

Roger, Mike, Nick and Perry certainly wouldn't have let Trinity develop the
feature if the current DoS mitigations in Tor had helped.

Please see the manual on this:

This is a client to relay detection only. "auto" means use the consensus
parameter. (Default: auto)
It is defined in the consensus:
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams

Example: 500K connections from IP 1.2.3.4

These are numbers from reality and not fantasy.
AFAIK, Article10 and relayon already had 1,000,000 connections per IP!
