Or....considering the short time frame, maybe a popular device
distributed a software update at that time. 8pm would be the worst time
to do that, but 8pm in the midwest must be 3am somewhere in the world.

Looking at two 10gig pipes, the one with more load has a smooth
curve. The other has a little under a gig of traffic, but does have a
pretty pronounced spike.....in this case at 9pm rather than 8pm (which
interestingly would be the same real time as you since I'm EST and I
believe you're central).
My guess is the one with more load has a larger "sample size" of users
so it's more difficult for the normal curve to be altered by
outliers.....maybe there's that a cluster of people like at 9 eastern
/ 8 central.
Just a guess. I'm not going to burn any more time dwelling on it.

We still see a step up around 4pm when the kids get home from
school. The dip at 6pm seems to have gone away, I guess people
stream video during dinner now.
But I’m puzzled by a spike we usually see at 8pm. Is this just a
fluke? Or is there some 5 minute TV show people are all watching at
exactly 8pm?
I’m used to a sustained period of high traffic from around 7pm to
10pm. But what’s the deal with 8pm? Must be kids turning in their
homework?
