Others have reported similar problems[1], and I'd suspect that a number of mapping parts will hit the same issue as it is probably fairly common to proxy a whole network through a single IP. Furthermore, even individual mappers have reported hitting the IP limit when mapping with P2. I presume that the issue is the bandwidth throttling code in cgi_map, which was implemented to prevent people and applications from scraping large areas from the API instead of using planet extracts. It is implemented as a leaky bucket style throttling code per IP address, storing the amount of draw from the bucket in memcached. It is perhaps somewhat of an ugly hack, but would probably be fairly easy to implement and hopefully alleviate the issue somewhat. Would it be possible to stick a line into the diff upload controller in the rails_port that resets the bytes sent counter for the given IP in memcached every time someone uploads something? This way mappers who upload things would have much more leeway with the bandwidth limit than scrapers who only download.
