Does DYN routinely deal with very large DDOS which would past this attack in a new category? Can someone who attends security conferences with DYN personnel comment?
For a DNS-only service provider, it seems like 1.2Tbps could be 1000x normal traffic. But Akamai claims 30Tbps+ is their routine traffic[1]. Some have commented that this DDOS questions consolidation around cloud providers, but I think it will cause consolidation among service providers. You can no longer be a critical service provider if you don't have the capacity to absorb attacks like this.
or 2x krebs, the 2nd? previously largest in history; we could use that or this incident as the future benchmark of ddos capacity.
Attacker may have been involved with the 1.5Tb against OVH.
