What irks me is that we have direct PNIs with -- without naming names -- the "big guys" delivering this content, and yet the majority of this traffic is coming over our public IX connections and transit.

Kinda defeats the purpose of a PNI ... anyone else seeing this?

thanks Peter, et al.  Is there some sort of website, traffic stats, gaming update schedule page for me to proactively see if/when this type of thing will occur?  I mean, this is a significant uptick on all 3 of my internet uplinks... would be nice to know beforehand

Considering at least the top 4 IPs you've listed are CDN providers (Edgio and Fastly), this definitely sounds like game updates or something of the sort. Nothing unusual really for 3am on a weekday morning especially for an eyeball network.

Kind regards,

    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

    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,
