Shouldn't someone like CAIDA be able to verify these claims? (They look
at more than backscatter, right?)
I feel like something of this magnitude could have been noticed. Is it
possible that the attack was sophisticated enough that it was a DDoS
that was "just" big enough to do the job but small enough to get lost
in the ebb and flow of normal traffic? If so, that'd be quite a feat.
I'm sure CAIDA or other groups are going over their datasets to see if
there is anything anomalous. I'm looking forward to a third-party
report.
thanks,
