Like I said in another post, I don’t think it has anything to do with latency. But more to do with packet loss across hops.

Now this could also be affecting Anets DC/ISP aswell as our own ISPs.

If only this attack were happening for a really long time, but it hasn’t. People have been experiencing this issue before that whole deboggle started. I can’t disagree with recent latency issues though, I was having some issues yesterday while at work. However, that can probably be blamed on the kitten network infrastructure in place.

If you read another article, it mentions that the attacks started around March 18th.

Threads started before then…like I said I agree with you that it might have impacted some of the more recent issues with latency, but this problem has existed since way before that.
