Could be like one of my customers. They had a online backup set to run every 24 
hours. Well over 200GB of pictures.

It never stopped.

  I did a reverse name lookup, and they are all in the amazon cloud:

    54.208.254.185           name = ec2-54-208-254-185.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    54.174.193.49            name = ec2-54-174-193-49.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    54.173.255.111           name = ec2-54-173-255-111.compute-1.amazonaws.com

    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.

    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.
