Just wondering whether HSRP ( Hot stanby ROuting protocol) configurations of
Routers would be effective in minimizing impacts of DoS Attacks.
Any suggestions or experiences ????

Subject: Microsoft.com DoS attack.
During the morning of January 25, Microsoft was the target of a
denial-of-service attack against the routers that direct traffic to our
Web sites.
As a result, access to some of Microsoft Internet properties, including
microsoft.com and MSN.com, was intermittent for many customers
throughout this morning.
Microsoft's global networking team quickly determined that today's issue
was completely separate from Wednesday's outage (caused by a router
configuration error </presspass/press/2001/Jan01/01-24DNSpr.asp>), and
has taken a number of steps to address the issue. Currently, all sites
are available.
This type of denial-of-service attack is not related to any Microsoft
product. Such an attack is an attempt to interfere with the routers in
one of Microsoft's Internet data centers.
Microsoft's servers were running normally throughout the event, but the
attack prevented access to some of Microsoft's Web sites. It is
unfortunate that an individual or group of individuals would engage in
this kind of illegal activity. Microsoft has made the FBI aware of this
situation. Microsoft has taken immediate steps to ensure our customers
can gain access to our Web sites. These steps will also make sure that
our networks have improved protection from this type of attack.
