If the Chinese Goverment was involved it should be 1000Gbps+ cus you know, much internet & much computers= much gbps

I doubt it was anywhere near 1Tbps, nothing would withstand that amount. It was probably below 500Gbps. We will probably never know because they didn't give specifics.

People can hit +1TB.

Why do you act like it's impossible? Many people to this day can hit +2TB.

But yeah it 'probably' was under 500GB.

I believe you mean Tbps & Gbps.

It isn't impossible at all, but it is extremely unrealistic. It would take a farm of servers of over 25 (maybe less if you have VERY good amp lists) to get 1Tbps, let alone 2Tbps. Only extremeist groups like Lizard Squad or Anonymous would really be seen with that. Mostly everyone else are swag fags with online booters, whose entire networks dont even reach 1Tbps (using HF marketplace as a reference). Most don't even guarantee over 20Gbps/attack.

I would appreciate if you could message me some evidence of someone booting at such strength, that would make 1-2Tbps so standard as you so put it.
