ICANN have released an excellent, concise analysis of the DDoS attacks against the root name servers from February this year:
ICANN Blog: Factsheet: DNS attack
It’s great to see a well-presented analysis publicly released about a high-profile incident such as this, and it even goes on to explain the operation of the root name servers (I learned a thing or two about Anycast, at least). Well worth a read, and hopefully something we’ll see more of!
