This analysis is interesting from the traffic standpoint, but doesn't
seem to answer one of the questions that I had, which is what caused the
sudden increase? Historically this kind of thing has happened in the
case of a misconfiguration for the name service for a popular domain,
but (unless I missed it, and if so apologies) the question of, "Was
<domain> misconfigured?" isn't answered in this paper.

I'm not (necessarily) asking you to "name and shame" the domain in
question, but I still believe that it's an interesting question on
several levels.

Meanwhile congrats to the K staff for handling this issue so adroitly.
