We���re (AS133075) also seeing large increases in traffic today which are predominantly Microsoft related.  Some is entering our network via our Microsoft peering in Sydney but a lot is coming out of Akamai/Microsoft caches within Vocus���s network so we���re seeing it as International IP transit which is a bit ouch!

Subject: [nznog] Large increase in traffic

 

Hi

 

We're seeing a large increase in inbound traffic levels today.

 

Appears to be coming in both over peering links and internationally. Right now it appears to be Microsoft related.

 

An AKL-IX graph shows it well - http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?local_graph_id=14&rra_id=all

 

Or the MS port: http://monitor.akl-ix.nz/cacti/graph.php?action=view&local_graph_id=137&rra_id=all

 

Does anyone else have more information to add as to what MS patches or similar are causing this? And over what borders this traffic is entering their networks?

 

Cheers

Dave
