I think its done by bad actor nodes. If I remember correctly but don’t quote me and someone please correct me if im wrong. I think the node runner makes it to where his node will only route to another of his channels, causing payments to jam up at their node. I could be totally wrong here.
Reverse DDOS would be a better name for explaining it. Instead of sending out a lot of data to a server(node) clogging it up, you are sitting in the middle catching data causing a backup before the data gets to the node(server)
