Can you tell from the logs (or doing some traceroute runs) if there's anything in common about the clients? Things such as a small set of origins (e.g., PRC, NK, AOL, NSA) or client environment (iOS, Android, IE7) might give a clue. I wonder if some intermediary box thinks it's being useful by trying to get responses to unacknowledged requests and keeps replaying them, but the real client lost interest and disconnected a long time ago. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
