Usually relays are well under the 100 mark. The only cases I've seen in practice where it happens are: a) If the Tor relay doesn't have much cpu to spare, and it's advertising a really high bandwidth value. b) If some client goes berserk and starts sending hundreds of create cells. We don't have a good solution for "b" yet. Perhaps if our queue gets large, we should ignore create cells from relays that have recently sent too many? --Roger
