The logs for a website I manage show a request for a non-existent file by Bingbot. The details of the request are

Path: /trafficbasedsspsitemap.xml
Useragent: "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; bingbot/2.0; +http://www.bing.com/bingbot.htm)"
IP address: 65.55.213.244 (reverse lookup resolves to msnbot-65-55-213-244.search.msn.com)

What reason is Bingbot looking for this file? What does "Traffic Based SSP Site Map" mean?

This is Vincent from Bing Webmaster Tools.

This was a Bingbot checking for an XML sitemap generated by the Bing Sitemap Plugin (Beta) for IIS and Apache - see the following for more details:

You shouldn't see this kind of discovery request very often.
