In the name of improving security, let's pretend Cloudflare is acting, without a shadow of doubt, in full malice. They want to get every Cloudflare website onion service as fast as possible. That would create a huge amount of circuits and I worry about whether the network can handle it. What information do we have on this? Right now Cloudflare could, in theory, I am not saying that they will, flip a switch and could cause quite the strain on the Tor Network.

Is there any kind of information about what kind of bandwidth / connections they are expecting to route?
Having a sense of scale in a ratio of current numbers I think would let everyone plan for what they're currently seeing multiply by X as a baseline.

As some of you may have heard, Cloudflare is beta testing opportunistic onions. This of course is going to create more Tor traffic. Cloudflare has several concerns about running their own relays and says they won’t at this time. That said if every Cloudflare website becomes an Onion Service overnight how would that affect network stability and what can we as relay operators do to prepare for
it?
