Which is why vendors selling DDoS mitigation equipment will always tell you to get a 15lb. bag first. ;) Their solutions work, but only if you got a bag big enough to store a lot of crap.
Not all attacks involve saturated pipes. There used to be anti-DDoS vendors whose boxes didn't even have WAN links. Part of the problem is that operating systems come with TCP stacks and web servers which are not very robust, so it's pretty easy to create something which behaves spectacularly better under certain attacks. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
