-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Im am running the torland relay family. On one of my servers I experience
sudden network outages. The relays normally pump at a rate of 450-550
MBit/s. When the outage happens, within minutes the rate goes down below
about 5Mit/s. In this case it is difficult to connect to the server via
ssh or to access the webserver with the traffic stats.
I checked the logs but found nothing in there. During the outage the CPU
runs at a pretty low level, so CPU is not the root cause of this issue.
Doing a traceroute to the server showed that the server indeed was the
point where packet loss happened. I also contacted the ISP and asked them
to check their network but they found nothing.
For me it looks as if the network stack on the machine runs at some point
on some kind of lock which slows done throughout. Because the processes
doing real work are tor processes (all are consuming nearly 100% CPU) I
suppose tor is causing the outage. Are there any log options for tor I can
use to investigate the cause of this issue?
Fingerprints of the relays are:

Just to visualize I attach a screen shot of network usage when the issue
happens: http://goo.gl/vSe32
Any hint is appreciated.
