can confirm this is true - a single rack of servers can now handle terabits of traffic.. in real time with near zero added latency, anti-ddos companies do this as a service.
Let's say I have a public website with https. I allow anyone to post a message to an api endpoint. Could a server like this read the message? How?
Is it the powerful servers making the difference here? Or the coveted back haul connections which have access to the data passing by?
I suppose it's both but the latter is a more scarce resource
