Comment (by asn):

 Some long-term solutions that have been proposed:

  * Do active queue management on introductions (#15516)
   * Use WRED queue logic or CoDeL or Stochastic Fair Blue
  * Apply filtering on Introduction Points
   * IPs could rate limit clients / ask for Proof-of-Work / etc.
  * Load balancing traffic through Intro Points ("scaling" ideas)
   * http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2015/msg00206.html
  * Load balancing traffic through bridges
   * Proposal 188 / s7r
  * Nove to I2P model of static long-term inbound gateways
