Comment (by mikeperry):
Dhalgren - What produced that graph, and for what Tor relay version? That
does not look like a metrics graph.
Exits can have asymmetry between bytes read and bytes written due to cell
packing. If there is a lot of intermittent small-packet activity (eg SSH)
being read from a public internet IP by your exit, your exit will package
will package those small packets into their own cells, and end up writing
much more than it has been reading as it sends those mostly empty cells to
the middle node. So this could be unrelated.
