“hammered”? I remember the time AT&T called me and said they were going to turn off the Akamai servers in their network because they were “hammering” AT&T users. I (not so) patiently explained to them the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was being streamed live, and their users might get a weeeeeee bit upset if the feed suddenly went away. Is that the type “hammering” you mean? -- TTFN, patrick

I remember fielding similar abuse calls who insisted that they were being attacked "BY F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET <http://f.root-servers.net/> ON SOURCE PORT 53". I'll shut up now, before anybody feels the need to remind me that this is not a discussion list. I'm still interested in what the original question meant, though. Joe

What exactly do you mean by that?

Speculating... Most if not all CDNs have some terrible misbehavior (MS, Akamai, Limelight) where they send excessive amounts of traffic for the receiving connection size without ever backing off. I can never get the ISPs experiencing the issues to collect information at the same time the CDNs are willing to look into it. Could be something else, though. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle Farmer via Outages" <outages@outages.org> To: Outages@outages.org Sent: Friday, February 3, 2017 11:29:41 AM Subject: [outages] load Anyone else getting hammered with akamaitechnologies.com ? _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

Saw this today. Customer's interface was a vertical line straight to their 200Mb/s rate limit. Had their Equipment wheezing. Traffic coming from 38.29.169.65 and 38.29.169.75, Appear to be Akamai devices inside AS174 (Cogent, Who is one of my transit providers). TCP/80. Customers NOC is looking into if the traffic was legitimate or not. Being that I came from Akamai, I like to think that it is. Ratelimited to 50Mb/s at customer request. Even at my core, I've got 200Mb/s coming in on the flow, And I'm dumping all but 50Mb/s of it. It's performing like UDP.
