Replying to [comment:1 nickm]:
> Did you see the documentation for the ConnLimit option? Did it make
sense?
ConnLimit is "The minimum number of file descriptors that must be
available to the Tor process before it will start."
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
It's not actually a socket limit. (Which confused me a lot when the extra
load hit in late 2017.)
My branch bug22747 on https://github.com/teor2345/tor.git explains how to
use ulimit and ConnLimit to limit tor's file descriptor usage. But those
instructions only work on small private bridges. (Relays need thousands of
sockets, to connect to every other relay.)
