How do DDOS attacks work and why aren’t they more frequent?

With the recent DDOS attack on a country that’s in the Korean Peninsula, I was wondering how this actually happens and how it takes down the entire internet infrastructure?

Think of DDOS attacks as spam. Spam to one specific target, flooding a path. When that path is obstructed, anyone in that path also feels the obstruction, like an interstate shut down do to a crash. But the crash was intentional.

They’re more frequent than you think, but ISPs are quick and stop this obstruction. They create a black hole for all of that unnecessary obstruction to fall in to so everyone else isn’t affected.

That’s the best I csn do to explain it.
