Does your NAT box have multiple IP addresses? Does it have an IPv4 and IPv6 address, and is the IPv6 address configured on your relay?
This might be an issue with your NAT. Does it support 14000 simultaneous connections? Most consumer NATs don't. (There are 7000 relays, and every one will try to connection every other relay.)
Found 15 connections to 10 relays. Found 15 current canonical connections, in 0 of which we were a non-canonical peer. 5 relays had more than 1 connection, 0 had more than 2, and 0 had more than 4 connections.

It looks like a small number of other relay have connected twice to your relay, or you connected to them, and they connected back. The problem should go away after a week when the connections rotate.
