Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [ticket:6710 thejh]:

 > Usage: Configure the target relay as bridge, set loglevel to notice and
 run the modified tor client with some IP and port in the bridges network
 as last two parameters (for some reason, it seems like the IP has to be in
 backwards notation... don't ask me why).

 You left out a call to `htonl`.

 > 192.168.178.1 is up, 192.168.178.2 is down. As you can see, the response
 time reflects this.

 You don't need to guess what the response time means.  Relays send an
 explicit indication of why they failed to extend a circuit, although the
 client code loses this information fairly soon after receiving it.  See
 also #3520 and #2576.
