In hindsight I wish I had time to gather details, but under the circumstances we didn't. First off, that link is a PtP link to our shop. The AP end is a war2 with 1 cm9 and the client/shop end it's a war4 with only 2 cm9 cards active, one being a 5 gig omni that I use when I pull up in my truck with my laptop. And it serves a couple very small business customers. Hopefully more in the future.
I pulled up yesterday and started checking my mail. All of a sudden I noticed things were not going so well. So I tired to ssh into the shops war but couldn't get past the password. So I logged into the AP end of the link where I noticed in the association list 3,900 to 4,000 something kbps. It struck me as odd but figured maybe one of us was downloading something big. Then it dawned on me, in Star in the association list it shows you active bandwidth transfer columns, but they may say kbps, but actually it's BYTES not bits. So I hit print screen. Before I got a chance to open up paint, my co pilot in my truck came out and asked me if my net was working because the shops wasn't. So I explained to him there was 4k BYTES and someone was downloading something. So he went inside and started unplugging various ethernets from the switch and finally rebooted the war board. We were in a hurry and were not thinking about anything but getting to the next job. I did though when I realized there was nothing to paste into paint, open up cacti and snap a screen capture of the interface of the tower router. That router is also fed by a 5 gig PtP 20MHz link to a water tank with another 5gig PtP link going to my temp noc which has a FSo PtP link to across the street to the fiber where I have a 100meg fiber feed to the Pittock Building in Portland. Here's Portland: http://www.oregonfast.net/gofast/30megs/30megsPortland2.JPG Actually it wasn't anyone downloading, it was something sending. Probably an infected pc on the bench in my pc repair shop. Not sure what virii is made up of, but thats all I can think of that would cause such an upload.
