Agreed, that’s why I was questioning the DOS attacks that some have touted. That sort of multiple hits on routers and dns servers, outside and inside of Iran, will only slow down (or take down) a lot of the same pipes that the public are using.

Just because someone targets a certain IP address, it doesn’t mean that your request only puts a strain on the single server that has the data you are requesting.

Your request is bouncing around may routers, servers, pipes and so on, and common sense would tell you that trying to overload the pipes into Iran will effect EVERYONE.

Self defeating.

so then, what exactly is the usefulness of this strategy?….hmmm
