Greetings.
Another independent ISP operator and I have noticed a pretty significant increase in traffic to and from our broadband (DSL) subscribers since August. It's been a fairly steady uptick, at least in my case, resulting in a doubling of overall average traffic to/from these folks since then.
Have others seen a similar trend? Any thoughts as to what the cause may be? Our best guess a virus/worm, possibly being used as a spam relay or other proxy at this point...
Traffic at LINX and AMS-IX started to grow again in Juli/August as well after having slowed down for months. At DE-CIX we see also a bis increase in traffic since August. No idea what this is. IMHO it's to much traffic for being virus/worm. Arnold
