That's not a new term.
It isn't used by folks involved in operational security. It's a marketing term.
I'll split the difference, folks in operational security dislike the term as they feel it's inaccurate. They tend to think it's marketing vs operational related. Reflection attacks are considered a sub-type of DoS/DDoS and do not require a new term. It's the same problem folks have with absolute terms like "Unlimited Data" with the asterisk. Can I direct the knife-fights about that part off-list? :) (and preferably exclude me, i get enough email). - jared
