 In Line 2112 of connection.c:

 When we are handling a read/write operation from a connection, we have to
 decrement the connetion read/write bucket to track down bandwidth usage
 and make limiting functionable.

 This line calles "connection_is_rate_limited()" to verify if we should
 decrement the bucket or not.

 In Line 1895 of connection.c:
 Here we check if we have such unlimited connection.
 Unfortunately tor thinks that private nets are unlimited too, which should
 not be the case: Only linked connection should be free of limitation.
 Otherwise we would have problems viewing used Bandwidth Rate using
 Controlsocket or ARM in private tor setups.
