basically, a more specific routing address is used to direct packets through a specific route. In the earlier instance( the second example) Japan was the target. It is easy to see how the routing system in japan could have been crashed through such an overload (basically a ddos). Who would do that to Japan? China? Korea? In the more recent instance, all the traffic from google, facebook, apple, and other major players was routed through russia. Is this china making russia look evil? after all, if the traffic is going through russia, all russia has to do is turn off the power for that router to momentarily stop all traffic. or is this the NSA trying to #uck w russia and at the same time trying to create an incident so the fcc kills net neutrality to provide 'security'. This is state of the art espionage
