As cyberbunker stops killing spamhaus and goes after Gilmore.. I think these are the guys who used to colo HavenCo after they burnt their platform down? I'm not sure how I feel about Cloudflare comparing being packeted to a nuclear bomb? After the packeting drys up, is there really total devastation? Seems to me it would better to compare it to something like a giant traffic jam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Highway_110_traffic_jam) not miles of land completely wiped out with zero hope of salvage? Unless cisco has implemented a mechanism to melt a router when the traffic exceeds 100gbps? ;) On 3/27/13 12:22 PM, "William Herrin" <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

Is someone pissed off at Spamhaus, or was the intention to packet them so hard their entire network ceased to exist so they can no longer offer DROP/RBL/xyz service?
According to the New York Times it was 300 gbps and Cyberbunker was the bad guy.
