Re: Effective ways to deal with DDoS attacks?

1) rate-limits aren't going to solve anything.

Um, you *could* try reading the paper.

2) I'm pretty sure most providers aren't going to let customers determine traffic engineering methods on their networks

See the above. This is not something done by the customers (well they could, but that's not the main idea).

3) if this is NOT done in a secure manner I bet I can make www.whitehouse.com disappear... :)

Could be we thought of that too! Vern
