It's amazing how much a ddos attack can do.

I read a few days back that when attackers had trouble attacking cloudflare they then went for the internet infrastructure (Internet Exchange) itself. In this case attacking a DNS service can block connection to a much larger set of internet.

Fwiw from some info posted above it sounds like it's the automated response to the DDoS causing issues, not the DDoS itself.

That would still be part of the ddos though, No mitigation is impact free.
