For the rps (requests per second) it doesn't seem to be exponential in their graph (as the line indicates), but actually more linear [1]. That's interesting because it suggests that most attacks are increasingly network based rather than application based.
I guess we're now at the point where we can just spin up more machines to absorb attacks and use various forms of caching, but it's not really possible to do the same for networking.
