assume that each "zombie" in the botnet contributes an average of 100kb/s
the number of systems in this botnet would have to amount to 100 systems
which if you think about it isn't that amazing.....

edit: depends on what method was used in the attack, if it was pinging that would take a lot more systems

edit 2: darn, my bad. 100 systems is only 10 megabytes, it would have to be 100thousand systems for 10 gigabytes
