Dave Knight's lightning talk in Toronto seemed to indicate that F's
anycast platform did a good job at sinking the bulk of the attack
traffic in Seoul and Beijing, and that the spill-over from the region
was mopped up easily by the very large nodes in California. Most
other locations that have a local F-root server saw very little impact.
Isolation of attack traffic seems like a big help to me.
