Hello,

I found a lot of UDP connections that is coming to my proxy servers.
I don't find the cause of such one-way traffics to my servers.
The sample UDP traffic is as :-

Anyone has any idea if the traffic is genuine or some kind of attack ?
x.x.x.x is my proxy server.

I don't think its genuine Squid traffic. DNS, ICP and HTCP all use a fixed well-known port at one end and a rarely changing port at the other.

It could be anything else on the box though.

There are a few CVE attacks this could be, two using DNS and one HTCP.
If you have a Squid 2.7.STABLE8+, 3.0.STABLE23+ or 3.1.1+ you are safe from those. They are just annoying.

If you have a Squid-3.1+ with an IPv6 address publicly advertised this could be a sign of v6 connection attempts. Several IP tunnel protocols involve UDP handshakes.
