Raymond, all:

Thanks for all the responses, public and private. I did, and am,
watching the sources. It's uninteresting in terms of capability to act
since it's spread out pretty widely and it's obviously difficult to
tell what will and will not cause collateral damage.

I'll capture some source traffic and put it out on the web for all the
researches that replied looking for sample data. I think I can
probably pcap something that won't violate any privacy laws where this
is. In the meantime, here's some sources that are in the top tier of
connections:
