I installed the ntop package to have a closer look at the network traffic. It seems that within a few seconds several hundred megabytes are sent to the DNS-server, with which my pc is connected, and the DNS server is sending this packages back. According to a comment in

this is due to (citing):
"pppd was altering the routing table and GRE packets supposed to carry the ppp traffic through wlan0 interface were actually being directed to ppp0 interface, which created an infinite loop."
