Re: weird Level3 IP space uploads
According to IDserve it seems to be a Footprint Server. I believe these were used in the past for Windows Auto-update. Not sure if they still are. You should try and determine what is sending the packets. See

| Da Wiseguy strikes gold again!  - There was a spate of performance problems recently with Microsoft and/or Windows update, and a couple of patches released for them. You may have that problem in PCs in your net.

I'm glad I could help.
EG, good catch on the Auto-update thread, explains why it was happening. |
