 We want to test IPv6 connection and consumed bandwidth statistics using
 chutney networks. However, chutney runs for a short amount of time, and
 creates a limited amount of traffic, so we also need to test these changes
 on the public tor network.

 In particular, we have struggled to test statistics using chutney, because
 tor's hard-coded statistics period is 24 hours. (And most chutney networks
 run for under 1 minute.)

 Maybe we can change the statistics interval to 10-30 seconds, and see if
 that works?

 See proposal 313, section 8.2, chutney tests part:
