Nope, looks like that patch did nothing whatsoever. The relay I tested it on is still receiving over 10,000 BEGIN_DIRs every second.

Was it determined that the attack you describe is general and not specifically aimed at you and all the relays you operate? We have not observed anything like this on any HSDir-flagged relay we have access to or this attack was not efficient enough to trouble the normal functioning of those relays.
