Quote from the first paragraph:

> Today, we’re announcing Amazon Route 53 Accelerated recovery for managing public DNS records, a new Domain Name Service (DNS) business continuity feature that is designed to provide a 60-minute recovery time objective (RTO) during service disruptions in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region.

gslinon Running a Certificate Transparency log

Let's Encrypt issues 9M certs per day (https://letsencrypt.org/stats/), and its market share is 50%+ (https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/ssl_certificate), so I assume there are <20M certs issued per day.

If all certs are sent to just one CT log server, and each cert generates ~10KBytes outbound traffic, it's ~200GB/day, or ~20Mbps (full & even traffic), not in the same ballpark (2-3Gbps).

So I guess there are something I don't understnad?

I am not sure if this is correct, is 2-3Gbps really required for CT?
