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

You are absolutelly right ... apparently there is an auto-update that is stuck in a loop on quite a few computers!!! and not just on my network.

Thanks to everyone for your help! You hit the nail on the head.

Re: weird Level3 IP space uploads

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.

See »Problem with Automatic Update since Tuesday

for more.

I'm glad I could help.

EG, good catch on the Auto-update thread, explains why it was happening.
