It's safe to assume that 1.2Tbps isn't a big deal for Google/MSFT/AWS/Cloudflare/Akamai/Yahoo/Verizon/etc.

DNS is normally a low-bandwidth protocol so if you only provide DNS services, needing to purchase 1000x your normal bandwidth to handle these bursts would be miserable. If a DNS provider were also providing video services (Vimeo/Twitch/etc), then a 1.2Tbps increase in traffic could be easily absorbed.

You would think that, yet Akamai dropped Krebs over half that.
