As I've noted in the past, one of the tools that I really like here and that is available to the public is our port detail.  So, as the result of a conversation at the day job the other day, I decided to take a look at the last 11 months of traffic on port 8881.  Below is the graph.  Does anyone know what happened in September that led to huge increase in traffic?  If you look at the ASCII table, you can see the number of destinations stayed in the range of roughly 5-15, but the number of sources has gone up tremendously.  Also, the mix of TCP to UDP dropped to roughly 75-85% (which may actually point to an answer, but I'll save my conjecture for an update).  So, if anyone has a packet capture they'd like to share, please upload through the contact page.
