Connected via TCP or UDP?
Before the DDOS attack my FR24 Radar was Connected via TCP
During the DDOS attack my FR24 Radar was Connected via UDP
Since the DDOS attack my FR24 Radar is back Connected via TCP
Is this a coincidence of part of the strategy to limit the impact of the attack?
In my simple terms, TCP is session-based, so there's a handshake and attempt of guarantee of delivery, while UDP is more "fire and hope" - much less reliable but with a lower overhead.
That would sort of make sense, with regard to server load, whether is was a deliberate action or a fall-back strategy.
Whatever the case, I'm curious and I think it would help us all understand the process, if someone within the inner circle could elucidate.
