The most common thing we've been seeing lately is gamers. They are in playing games online, and piss someone off, so they launch a DDOS towards our customers IP to knock them out of the game. They just don't realize that it also fills up our pipes and does way more than knock a single customer offline.
I've found that it's usually all UDP traffic, so I can filter for UDP and usually get a pretty quick sense of what IP it's all destined for on our network. Just look for the single destination IP that has traffic coming from hundreds and thousands of different source IP addresses.
