I've had experience with that type of thing several years ago:
http://boston.conman.org/2003/12/17.1
http://boston.conman.org/2004/01/04.2
But I haven't experienced such an attack in the past six years, so I don't
think they're all that common (at least, if there isn't a reason to attack
your site or server). Also, if you are concerned about handling TCP
traffic, you should read:
http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html
which gives a lot of helpful advice for handling large amounts of TCP
traffic.
