The largest denial of service attack year peaked at 100 Gbit/s. That’s more than the bandwidth usage out of NZ.

Thats pretty scary.
They could target one site in NZ and take out the whole countries international traffic!
I wonder if it would affect domestic traffic?

What really worries me is that fact that the 100 Gbps is only 1000 “fiber to the door” users. We’ll create our own DDoOT (Distributed Denial of Oversea Traffic)
Fiber to the door speeds “100Mpbs downloads and 50Mbps uploads”
Now thats a worry!!!
