99485 members on this forum and we can't even get a compelling answer to question 0: Is this a real attack or just exponential traffic growth?

(Personally and from what I've gathered from several webmasters this does look like an attack... but I want proof, not opinions).

Pray tell, how would you tell the difference between DDoS data and real data? The only people who have access to the information needed to make that distinction are the website operators who are being DDoSed. Without their server logs, you're not going to accomplish much.

traceroute and ping em and their uplinks during attacks, look at packet loss this will tell you all you need to know. Look whether it is 0%, 100% or something closer 20-05%.

Packet loss due to a ton of legitimate traffic would look identical to a DDoS though.
