Hi Team,

We've suddenly (since about 1600 GMT today) seen a huge increase in inbound traffic - a very unnatural curve on our graphs.  I have tracked this via flows to a large influx
of traffic from Limelight networks.

Is something going on that I didn't know about?  I'm taking on the order of 2Gb/s more inbound traffic than normal as a result of whatever this is.  Any explanations would
be greatly appreciated.
