Didn't see any spikes here, But from the looks of that graph something sure 
happened. It was huge, And only for a short period, Strange.

Subject: Akamai Traffic Spikes

We were trying to diagnose an issue we had around 1 PM EDST, and were 
looking at net flow data. The data indicated a significant change in our 
traffic patterns, all coming from Akamai address space. The Akamai 
utilization graphs show a near doubling of retail traffic in the same time 
period that we had traffic spikes. Does anybody have any idea what caused 
such a major surge in traffic?
