I work for a small ISP-for-schools. We had an issue which eventually turned out to be related to a specific version of Snapchat on Android, when its connection back to Snapchat was blocked, it'd try and send a mixture of GET/POST at a rate of 1000s a minute. When you've got thousands of devices doing that, it's like an internal DDoS.

We've had a few problems like this and it always appears to be Android apps...

How did you resolve that snapchat problem?
