Comment(by hsn):

 I think that reachability detection error is at client side. After getting
 error message about unreachable ORPort i started arm and see inbound
 connection from Snafu with lifetime 1.4h but i restarted node again and
 this time did not reset in arm, so real connection lifetime should be
 less.

 But my point is that even if node successfully does incoming tor handshake
 with other tor nodes checking reachability, then it fails its reachability
 check.

 Make reachability logic simple. If other node can connect, then node is
 reachable and publish descriptor to directory.
