Actually, most DDoS attacks aren't link-flooding attacks - this hasn't been true for the last ~7 years or so. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, because it does, and sometimes quite spectacularly - but in most cases, the attackers don't have to flood the link to achieve their desired goal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobb...@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Sell your computer and buy a guitar.
