That chart doesn’t support your assertion. Akamai’s traffic and attack charts usually look like that, and the attack chart even says it’s currently low.

The heavy traffic is due to sports events - champions league last-16 matchday live streaming: Bayern Munich vs. Liverpool, FC Barcelona vs Olympique Lyon. The heatmap matches the clubs' home countries UK, Germany, France & Spain quite well. Dont conflate that with fb/insta problems.

      Multicast was designed exactly for this - same data streamed to many endpoints at the same time. Too bad it's not being more widely used, the bandwidth savings would likely be huge.
