What happens when I shut down my Tor-server?

[Alexander W. Janssen]

Hi,

for maintenance-reasons I had to shut down my server today. However,
after shutting down the server I realized that there's still much
traffic, although shutdown was 30 minutes ago.

So, does the server tell it's peers that it's going down? Does it
deregister? Or is that stray-traffic?

Cheers, Alex.
