I wonder if that would be a reason for the relatively anemic 1Gb Internet pipe-- making sure that a DDoS couldn't push enough packets through to inconvenience the LAN party.
I was involved in delivering 1GigE to Dreamhack in 2001 which at the time (if I remember correctly), 4500 computers that participants brought with them.
Usually these events nowadays tend to use 5-20 gigabit/s for that amount of people, so 2x1GE is just not enough. Already in 2001 that GigE was fully loaded after 1-2 days.
