What port numbers?
I have seen this with an infected router. The traffic was in and back out
to Amazon cloud, as if it had been taken over for a proxy or something.
Something else to look for is some Costco type security camera system with a
cloud DVR.

Subject: [AFMUG] Amazon EC2
I was trouble shooting a problem on a connection this morning, and found
that the client had three streams running to EC2 in the Amazon AWS
cloud. It has been running for months, at a more-or-less constant
upstream rate of about 300 Kbps per stream (all three streams together
are less than 1 Mbps, but they are all constant, running 24x7 for at
least the last 8 months).
Is this a hijack of some sort? This particular customer is not
sophisticated, and I can not imagine what sort of compute resource he
might require. He barely knows how to boot up his computer.
