"The attack
What’s interesting is that the attack mostly came from data centers. We’re seeing a big move from residential network Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to cloud compute ISPs.
This attack was launched from a botnet of approximately 6,000 unique bots. It originated from 112 countries around the world. Almost 15% of the attack traffic originated from Indonesia, followed by Russia, Brazil, India, Colombia, and the United States."

The biggest thing I picked up on was their practice that they mentioned of sampling traffic and analyzing it asynchronously, to avoid latency penalties.
