that was true in the 90s, and maybe the first half of this decade, but really isn't any more. Most server installs I have worked with have the "pipe" limit at 100 MBit/s at their lan port. A DoS with 5 MBit/s can be very effective. > Also, it would help if all ISP's implemented proper egress filtering to > prevent spoofing. !!! -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
