The machine is running a web proxy server (squid-1.1.beta). >Description: An unusual jump in network outbound network traffic turned out to be caused by a -current machine with a stuck connection.

I don't know my tcp states well enough to understand what is meant to happen here, but hanging in FIN_WAIT_1 forever doesn't seem nice. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
