If I have a GE link and get DDOS'ed at 1.44Mpps I'm on the wrong side of the bottleneck to do much about it, am I not ? I don't disagree on that forwarding equipment should be able to handle worst case situations, but I have never worked on a packet switching network where that is the case, especially not when counting peers and transits.
