Re: Internet SYN Flooding, spoofing attacks

[Stephen Kent]

Steve,

The AT&T experiences might be different, but at GTE-I, a SYN flood 
was the primary attack mechanism for one major web site that we host. 
Also, it is not at all clear that our network had a problem handling 
the other flooded traffic (ICMP Echo Reply and UDP traffic) that was 
sent to 3 other targets on our net, but the web hosts that were 
targets certainly did suffer from processing the traffic.
