The testing relay will confirm that test circuits can extend to both its
IPv4 and IPv6 ORPorts.
+ Checking IPv6 ORPort reachability will create extra IPv6 connections on the
+ tor network. (See [Proposal 313: Relay IPv6 Statistics].) It won't directly
+ create much extra traffic, because reachability circuits don't send many
