Re: BSDI announcement about defense against syn-flooding attacks

The remainder of the patches (K210-021, K210-022, and U210-025) add support for IP source checking, and for reducing and/or eliminating problems associated with SYN attacks, IP fragment attacks, and some other denial of service/looped server attacks.

Unfortunately, these are available only for BSD/OS 2.1 -- nothing for prior releases.

They're working on fixes for prior releases, I believe. (I have it from the coder's fingers). Avi
