[tor-relays] Tor relay doing 400 Mbps up, 50 Mbps down until reboot

Hello.

One of my relays, 54C85B97B4A5253483AA269B341C4CCF9328C443, had 400 Mbps
up and only 50 Mbps down for several hours. Performance got so bad that
could barely SSH in. Unfortunately, I rebooted before doing diagnostics
and the problem has not happened since, so I couldn't see if Tor logged
asymmetric bandwidth use in its heartbeat. Nothing in the logs indicate
anything abnormal. This started on Jun 25th, 12:30 AM UTC and continued
until I rebooted at around 4:00 AM UTC. Tor's CPU use was 100% for the
duration of this event and the uplink was not saturated.

Is this something that has happened before? Could it be some DoS attack?
As far as I know, the only way to get Tor to use asymmetric bandwidth is
to use it as a directory mirror.

Regards,
forest
