Since 2022/09/28 10:59:16
I started to notice in my logs lines like this:
2022/09/30 10:39:32 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|5 KB -- (22 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
Connection sends 57 bytes, receives several kilobytes and lasts for several seconds.
Within 3 days 862 such connections were collected in my log.
Do anyone knows origins of such behaviour? Is it related to attacks? To new kind of censorship?
I doubt if this is anything dire. I expect it relates to the very heavy load on the snowflake servers due to the massive amounts of traffic recently.

The timing matches up a problem with ephemeral ports on the bridge. It should be fixed since 2022-09-30 21:06:13.
Likely what was happening is: the proxy made a WebSocket connection to the bridge; the bridge frontend process was unable to make an internal connection; so the frontend process terminated the WebSocket connection almost immediately. It was probabilistic, only affecting a fraction of connection attempts.
Since 2022-09-28 10:57:26 the snowflake-server log is full of “connect: cannot assign requested address”
@dcf I still see them now:
2022/10/01 11:08:41 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|10 KB -- (42 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/01 11:08:55 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|11 KB -- (54 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/01 11:09:34 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|7 KB -- (23 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/01 11:13:42 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|14 KB -- (79 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 1 seconds)
@dcf No further 57 B sends after ~ 2022/10/01 13:00:00
There was a period without such sends yesterday.
But today I see them again:
2022/10/02 09:46:29 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|6 KB -- (25 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/02 09:46:54 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|14 KB -- (108 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/02 09:47:02 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|10 KB -- (41 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 0 seconds)
2022/10/02 09:47:12 Traffic throughput (up|down): 57 B|9 KB -- (46 OnMessages, 1 Sends, over 2 seconds)
