Hi,
For the past couple weeks for about 4-5 hours at time we've been getting extremely high bandwidth usage on HTTP (deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com).
The connection is a 100/100 - when this is happening the connection is stuck in the the upper 90's so it's capping the FW and making all internet pretty much unusable.
I know this server can be used for many things (AV updates, content updates/streaming, and mostly from what I've seen when using WireShark during one of these occurences, Windows Updates).
I've tried putting in web filtering exceptions to bypass all checks for akamaitechnologies.com incase the traffic was getting stuck in there somehow.
I've also tried putting QoS rules to limit the Akamai Applications as well as the direct servers for some of the addressed in the flow log, they just switch to a different one and the traffic builds right back up.
I'm going to be putting a WSUS server in-place to hopefully help this but has anyone else had this issue or found to a way to limit this traffic so it doesn't hinder the entire network?
(215 GB of that HTTP traffic was akamaitechnologies.com)
What the flow monitor looks like while it's happening.
