unknown skype traffic

2010-09-09 Thread T o n g 
Hi,

Disclaim: I installed skype just recently because I have to use skype for 
work instead of pleasure. 

I notice a strange 15K inbound and 15K outbound traffic just now (they  
should both be zero normally). iftop shows connections from sites that I 
never know before. netstat reveals that all such traffic are from skype:

Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

The skype GUI shows no activities at all. What's going on? 
Somebody experiencing the same before?

Thanks

I guess you're directly connected (no NAT) so you're now a super node.
