Didn't see any spikes here, But from the looks of that graph something sure
happened. It was huge, And only for a short period, Strange.

Subject: Akamai Traffic Spikes
We were trying to diagnose an issue we had around 1 PM EDST, and were
looking at net flow data. The data indicated a significant change in our
traffic patterns, all coming from Akamai address space. The Akamai
utilization graphs show a near doubling of retail traffic in the same time
period that we had traffic spikes. Does anybody have any idea what caused
such a major surge in traffic?
