Re: [tlug] Network issues Japan -> USA?

Since around 5pm yesterday afternoon (Dec. 9th) I've seen a sudden massive dropoff in *upload* transfer speeds (all protocols), specifically from Japan (Tokyo) to servers located at different, geographically separate facilities within the US operated by the same co-location provider. I haven't got access to any servers at other locations / providers in the US to compare against. However uploads to the same servers from other locations throughout the world aren't affected and I can access them fine from a server based in Europe.

Download speeds remain normal. The problem manifests itself from various Asahinet and OCN connections in Tokyo. I haven't been able to test and haven't yet had reports from other connections / locations in Japan.

Does anyone have any insights as to what might be happening here?

It was Microsoft Update Tuesday in the US. Could 30,000,000 machines infected with the Windows virus, all calling home at the same time, have had some impact?
