Here is a visual representation of the affect of the snapchat broken-ness on my NTP server:

Note that inbound traffic which was steady at ~4k packets/sec spikes as high as five times as much. Also note that the snapchat traffic followed a circadian rhythm (much higher traffic during the daytime).

Seems like the post was written in 2014 while the Snapchat NTP issue was more recent.

It was mainly due to Virtualbox querying every 64 seconds.

this post was from 2014, so I doubt it was this months snapchat issue
