That’s pretty cool. I’d never though about bogons and debogonizing before, it’s like chasing off all the squatters on your property and more keep coming. You need some fat pipes and beefy servers to be able to handle all the bogus traffic of machines trying to hit your server, and also be able to actually fulfill your purpose.

Make sense now why Cloudflare would be one of the only companies that could handle it!


They only had a 10mbit link. Apparently 50mbit/s was the amount of traffic they received.

Mostly everyone could handle this, not just CloudFlare.


CloudFlare reported 10Gib/s when they first switched it on. The 10Mb/s link was deliberately limited.


    The last public analysis was done in 2010 by RIPE and APNIC. At the time, 1.1.1.0/24 was 100 to 200Mb/s of traffic, most of it being audio traffic. In March, when Cloudflare announced 1.0.0.0/24 and 1.1.1.0/24, ~10Gbps of unsolicited background traffic appeared on our interfaces.
