* This is the modus mailing list * On our NewEdge circuit we have a steady traffic load of 70k+ bytes... or 560k bits 24/7.
I haven't seen any 1.5 mbits loads... but wonder why the background traffic is so high. We need to make a list of all NewEdge DSL clients and then see if we can discover the load, of find out if it is some kind of background traffic on our net, perhaps.
