So for the big guys each isp can run a "local" server. For example, a gov't level sip will run Google servers on their network, to help with load balance, accessibility, and the like. Some of these networks could have a dozen servers distributed across the state, more often more. Gives redundancy, speed, and service. This is PER ISP. FB can have servers all over too. Many servers just do distribution, they dont serve to customers, theyre just running backend sharing to keep everything up to date. With load balancing, you are talking about hundreds, thousands of servers, with legions of switches, routers, and thousands of DNS servers spread all over for support.
The redundancy built into this is rediculous. No random hacker group or script kiddie did this.
Who could do this:
Larger gov't agencies -
Space Force- yes
CIA or FBI/DHS...maybe? Remember, these slovenly agencies have had many of their military & tech assets pulled, so possibly still reeling from the loss. Thank you Trump.
FB itself - yes
China.....eh, maybe
Any European country.... Maybe
England?
Russia...probably...maybe?
Mafia - no.
Competitive companies....yeah like who is big enough to take that on....Microsoft? Google? Allies screwing each other?
Patriots, no group I know of, but that isn't surprising.
Sorry for not having the correct terms.
