Abnormal increase in connection and request

performance

We are facing an abnormal issue where the number of requests increases to very high value for about 7 hours. Normally we are able to serve with 60 connections at a time, but open connections during these time reaches to as big as 400+ connections. I am also not able to find out any specific IP from which the request is coming. Can it be a probable DoS attack . What could be the issue ?

Any person who has previously faced such an issue or knows about it ?

What do your access logs say? Is there a particular page they are accessing? Is it even http traffic?

We'll need more information about your Linode, your configuration and your site. There are very, very few vanilla answers to generic questions. Help us help you.
