Hi, > A VPN system ought to sustain resistance to such an attack better than the proposed system which treats the SoF traffic the same as regular traffic.
In purely technical terms what makes a VPN system less likely to suffer from DDoS then wisely used Internet system as transport ? Note that key here is *wisely used* meaning that you are relaying on dynamic selection of your IP transport among N number of alternative paths (in many cases could be only 1 AS hop away from your other peer). Experience actually indicates that number of carries are offering "emulated L2 VPN circuits" today over their IP Internet backbones and effects of this in terms or resistance from attacks are purely imaginary at best.
