Thanks Jason, updates for what?  I was hoping any other eyeball network operators may have been seeing "lots of internet" usage like me and may be able to share what they know.  I'm always suspicious about the typical game update that tends to cause something like this.  someone unicasted me a response that it might be related to F1 Manager 2024 for video game consoles released today
 

i grabbed my netflow data for the last few hours for any source ip that has sent more than 5 GB of data...

Do you have any sort of additional information about this? Which source and destination ASNs, how much "a lot" is, etc? This sounds like a typical game update release cycle though without any information not a whole lot of networks would be able to confirm anything.

Kind regards,

Peter
