yesterday because I was tired and just wanted to go to bed (but not 
without at least setting up a workaround - interfering with VoIP traffic 
is unacceptable), but we are quite grateful for that.

flows. Unless Sebastian installed some custom software that does (which 
I doubt), it must have been a TCP flow that caused the bandwidth spike.

OK, will use that instance when I set up a Ubuntu VM, thanks!
