the circuit (if more research shows us what to do), because Alice can
choose how many of the K to mark as relay_extend. Note that relay_extend
cells *can* contain any sort of data cell; so in effect it's actually
the relay type cells that are restricted.
the relay type cells that are restricted. By default, she would just
send the first K data cells over the stream as relay_extend cells,
regardless of their actual type.
Each intermediate server would pass on the same type of cell that it
received (either relay or relay_extend), and the cell's destination
will be able to learn whether it's allowed to contain an Extend request.
If an intermediate server receives a relay_extend cell after it has
already seen k cells, or if it sees a relay cell that contains an
already seen k data cells, or if it sees a relay cell that contains an
extend request, then it tears down the circuit (protocol violation).
