Epoch 250, approx 2130 UTC spike in mempool txns: anyone care to comment?

Staking & Delegation Operate a Stake Pool

Greetings beautiful people,

I wish to share an odd episode that occurred approximately 5 hours ago (~2130 UTC). This was an unusual spike in mempool txns reported in all our relays:

txn_mempool_relay1904×715 151 KB

This was accompanied by an unusual loss of peer connections:

Inkedconnected_peers_relay_LI
Inkedconnected_peers_relay_LI1898×722 85.3 KB

And a seemingly flat line (albeit short lived) in block-sync speed:

Inkedblock_sync_relay_LI
Inkedblock_sync_relay_LI1904×692 156 KB

I have done some sifting through logs and found nothing sinister. Also, this seems to have been an isolated episode, and systems are running well since.

Has anyone else noticed something like this? Does anyone care to comment as to possible reasons?

All the best,

A
