The root servers struck by the attack assist computers in translating
Internet domain names, such as www.circleid.com, to numeric equivalents
used by computers. These servers provide the primary roadmap for 70% of
all Internet communications. The remaining 30% of the net now uses
competing root service providers who bypass the USG root system. They were
not under attack.
