Whois lookups (was: 2010.10.04 NANOG50 day 1 morning notes posted)
by Nathan Eisenberg 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

http://kestrel3.netflight.com/2010.10.04-NANOG50-morning-notes.txt " Whois traffic has been going through the roof; they added more proxies in front to support it. Apparently, there's IP management packages that do whois queries. It would be good to find out who is doing it, and talk to ARIN engineering, to find a better way of handling it. We can't keep up if so many machines on the internet keep doing it like this. Source addresses are all over, they're all over, not sign of bots; could be a DLL or mac system startup that's doing it. Please, don't embed whois lookups in everyone's computers like this!! " The only thing I know of is that packages like fail2ban that perform WHOIS lookups when blocking IPs to generate abuse POC notification emails. So more SSH bruteforce attacks = more whois lookups.

re: Akamai Traffic Spikes

Didn't see any spikes here, But from the looks of that graph something sure happened. It was huge, And only for a short period, Strange. Nick Olsen Network Operations (877) 804-3001 x106 ---------------------------------------- From: "Scott, Robert D." <robert(a)ufl.edu> Sent: Monday, October 04, 2010 3:51 PM To: "nanog(a)nanog.org" <nanog(a)nanog.org> Subject: Akamai Traffic Spikes We were trying to diagnose an issue we had around 1 PM EDST, and were looking at net flow data. The data indicated a significant change in our traffic patterns, all coming from Akamai address space. The Akamai utilization graphs show a near doubling of retail traffic in the same time period that we had traffic spikes. Does anybody have any idea what caused such a major surge in traffic? http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/nui/retail/charts.html Robert D.
