Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:4 mikeperry]:
 > My guess is that this relay has both IPv4 and IPv6 connections to some
 of its peers. Options include A) checking for that and not logging in that
 case. B) Marking one of these duplicate connections as non-canonical, so
 the duplicates won't persist.

 Relays do not extend over IPv6, so this explanation is unlikely. IPv6
 relay extends will be implemented in #24404.

 My guess is that the canonical connection code behaves badly under load.
