o Major features (denial of service mitigation):
- Give relays some defenses against the recent network overload. We start
with three defenses (default parameters in parentheses). First: if a
single client address makes too many concurrent connections (>100), hang
up on further connections. Second: if a single client address makes
circuits too quickly (more than 3 per second, with an allowed burst of
90) while also having too many connections open (3), refuse new create
cells for the next while (1-2 hours). Third: if a client asks to
establish a rendezvous point to you directly, ignore the request. These
defenses can be manually controlled by new torrc options, but relays
will also take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to
configure anything manually. Implements ticket 24902.
