I really hope that dyn releases some graphs of queries per second for a few day range so we can see how large this DDoS attack really was.



For reference, the earlier Krebs attack is quoted on Wikipedia as being 620 Gbps [1]. I'm not sure it's really comparing apples to apples though with this being at DNS level. ~2x the traffic sure, but at a layer with a lot more impact on everyone, so the outcome is much more than ~2x worse.
