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.
