It was small as most web pages are today. I don't think the government servers were hit even close as hard as some of the big news sites. I bet CNN has 10 x the hits the LOC site had. NetRail hosted the servers for US Treasury and USDA. We gave them a 100 BaseT ethernet connection into a core router, but it never was a big deal because their servers would die way before the like utilization ever got high. I have found many government sites are like that. I would not be surprised if LOCs servers died before the links maxed out.
