Does this actually answer the question? If there's a node online that means I can reach the content, but would it help with DDOS? Not so sure.

- nine_k 7y agoIpfs rarely stores 100% of content on one node.
- whitexn--g28h 7y agoA popular IPFS file might be available on thousands of nodes similar to how popular torrents have thousands of seeders. DDoS attack against thousands of servers across multiple countries and networks would be nearly impossible to perform.
- viraptor 7y agoIt depends on the kind of node storing the data and how many there are. It's likely easier to DDoS 100 people on DSL than a single Wikimedia endpoint.
