If customer had a managed router from you, this would be simple, you could look 
remotely at the connection tracking or NAT translation table along with the 
DHCP hosts list and determine which device on the LAN is sending traffic to 
that Akamai IP address.  Or you could set a firewall rule and log the packets, 
or you could torch the traffic or equivalent.  Lots of tools with a managed 
router.

 

But since customer has their own router which you don’t manage, how is this 
your problem?

 

And BTW, port 443 could be anything using HTTPS, that doesn’t narrow it down 
much.

Just  an  update  on  this.   I  have isolated the IP address.  I have

TCP/443.   I have blocked all packets leaving his system going to that
IP  address.   That  has  stopped  the  download  of  course,  but  it is
continuously requesting data.  We powered off all devices and it still
continued.  Of course powering off router killed the traffic.

What  are  the chances that it is the Netgear router?  It is a Netgear
(R7000P-100NAS)  Nighthawk AC2300 router.  The usage spike started the
day  he installed the router.  Could it be in some type of FW download
loop?
