I had Cloudflare's woes in mind when I wrote that.
- TheCoelacanth 5y agoSo your point is that it didn't slow down the entire Internet, only the parts of the Internet that use DNS (damn near all of them)?
- oarsinsync 5y agoBased on cloudflare's own blog[0], 1% of queries went unanswered for about 10 mins, and were significantly delayed for a few hours. 5% of queries were delayed for a couple of hours. 95% of queries continued to be resolved as normal. This is referring explicitly to users of 1.1.1.1, which is likely not the same infrastructure as domains hosted by cloudflare dns.
