Thank you for the reply and the links.
 From what I can understand those links concern "connections". I believe 
my firewall rules handles that fine (they're based on Toralf's example).

My concern is about circuits. As I understand it one connection can 
create many circuits. If the attacker keeps the connections down to 
avoid being blacklisted they can create lots of circuits. And one 
circuit created affects 3 relays.

So what I'm looking for is a way to get the IP of big circuit creators.
I understand that many circuits will come from other relays but on my 
guard relay I assume the attacker also connect directly. If I can 
blacklist non-relays that create too many circuits I can help my relay 
and those downstream.
