I would really like it if Dyn could give some credence to the 1.2Tpbs number or if it was higher.

As these attacks grow in scale, it becomes more and more important to know if this was an attack at record capacity or if it was just that Dyn had lower capacity hardware/links in place. If we're already facing, for example, 2Tbps attacks, a lot has to be done to make mitigating these attacks easier, either through hardware or strategic upgrades.

no.

what you get then is groups trying to outdo each other trying to get bragging rights for being the largest.
