Somewhere I have a first edition of Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated, in some
box of books I can't find.
Strangely, "3600 seconds" is one timeout value which doesn't exist in that
chapter (or TCP). Yep, ISPs and middleware boxes use that value, often
incorrectly.

Auto updates with the console "off" has been a thing since the launch of
the Xbox One (nov 2013) and the relatable Playstation. Newer
Xbox/Playstation continue to have this. I don't thin
understood. today's ~3:00 a.m traffic increase, is similar to what I
saw 1/23/2024... nice of them to at least start it during lowest use
time of the day.

No, because there's no set schedule for these things.
Some publishers / consoles get content/patches up in advance to allow user
to pre-load. This can smooth out the bandwidth hits, but only if the users
enable the pre-load feature. Many don't. Other publishers just enable the
updates at once for
You're right on and most of us don't monitor for shifts between direct
peering and transit very well. we monitor for bw threshold.

There was an issue in a Fortnite update yesterday for Xbox causing the update
to be over 80gb (usually 20gb or less) on that platform. Xbox will also auto
push out updates to games very soon after their release, even with the console
being off.

Not seeing the same here in Houston, the influx of 54113 traffic was coming in
on PNI. Most of my traffic from the other “big guy” is coming in on transit
instead of PNI, but I’ve been told that is due to some issues with their POP in
the market.

I see a mix of Akamai, Amazon, Apple (iOS/macOS updates?), Edgio, Fastly
for direct peers. I haven't dug into transit but I see spikes on Arelion
and Cogent.
Quick search is showing me multiple possibilities: Fallout 76 update, PS5
firmware update, possibly Fortnite update.

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.

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
Yes, looks like all the families with young/middle aged teens are
downloading updates.

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,
