If they did it was a *very* targeted attack, because Road Runner's support guy said they didn't see any appreciable amount of inbound traffic at that time.
We've seen hardware load-balancers rated at 10gb/sec taken down with only 60kpps of HOIC for 60s (and require 45m to reboot), so high-throughput/-banwidth isn't really necessary; stateful devices make it a lot easier to DDoS a given target with far less traffic than would be otherwise required. Just a thought - it might be worth having a gander at whatever telemetry is available. ----------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net>
