[tor-relays] Very unbalanced in/out connection ratio

[mattia]

Hello,

I've been running a middle relay [1] for months and I have always
noticed an unbalance between incoming and outgoing connections
(monitored through arm).
The incoming connections were always in between 0-10% more than the
outgoing ones.

This morning though the unbalance has reached so far unseen levels: arm
reports more than 2500 incoming connections while outgoing are little
more than 200.

Is this normal and, if so, why?

Thank you,


Mattia
