You *may* be forgetting NAT.

Eg, it's possible the first one is a network of a few thousand computers going through a NAT firewall where each of them has had an old daily.cvd copied onto them in an internal release cycle or something, so each of the computers on that network is trying to download a backlog of CDIFFs. (Or maybe another problem stopping the updates has been discovered and fixed, or something)

In that case, the organisation behind that NAT should provide a local mirror. There is no excuse for running thousands of systems on a single IP (if that is even possible) and not use a local mirror.

I'm not saying it is, but it may be. If you are only analysing by IP address, NAT will innocently cause strange results.

There is nothing innocent about the above scenario, it's either negliance or incompetence.
