Nitpick on an otherwise good post, but I don’t think there are very many 6billion RPS systems out there, and those that do exist are almost certainly using bespoke, purpose-built tools

MQTT is everywhere, indeed, because of how simple the protocol is (it’s very ubiquitous in IoT / embedded systems).
They did send lawyers to my door in the end though.
Someone had forgot IPv6 rate limit bucketing :)
Roughly a hundred servers on 100 GbE ports each could handle one small UDP packet per human every second, and would have a plenty of cycles and RAM per human left to actually do some work.
That fits in a shipping container.
Illustrative of course: the point is that "for every human" is not far out there given how crazy powerful hardware has become.

While there is no correlation between the Visa claim of 70k tps to people on the planet, there is also no correlation to the number of servers needed to process UDP packets.
The "Visa network" is more of a trusted collaboration between a small number of banks operating multi-step transactions than it is an OSI Layer 1 - 5 concern.
But then again it would still be no where near a million TPS.
What are these, TCP packets?
