Bandwidth Saturated - Can't find culprit

For the last few days my XG has been showing that i've essentially saturated my internet connection. I've tailored some policies and look into the "Live Connections" tab - the numbers don't add up. It's almost like it does not exist.

I have also taken a look into the console with iftop -i. From here, I do see a connection hanging out near the top with a usage of most of my link speed. The URL here relates to my ISP but I am unsure of what exactly - I think I need help tracking down and/or explaining this one connection:

cpe-66-61-170-89.indy.res.rr.com

For reference, my connection is 25/25 Mbps (working on upgrading this) and this is a (relatively) new issue.

  • Why not create a firewall rule to allow traffic to this specific IP and put logging on?

     

    Or create a rule to this specific IP and drop it, just to see what happens or breaks?

  • Should have though of that myself...

    I performed a packet capture and turns out this data is all BITS (Microsoft Update) related. I thought I had a policy in place for this and I do, however it does not seem to be working. 

    In the packet capture I am seeing it classified and traffic shaping being correctly applied to it but it's still running at about 22Mbps. Is there something wrong in my policy?

    I checked and the work hours are correct and the time is set correctly on the device
