I found the same thing. This didn't make sense. Also I found that a sibling
had only 40-50% TCP-hitrate. This doesn't make sense because, when using
ICP, a TCP request is only done when there is a hit.

I changed it a bit and included the above TCP-hits and UDP-hits in all
places where I just found TCP_HIT and UDP_HIT. Now I've done this I get a
much more realistic hitrate. (also confirmed by other tools and rough
calculations)
