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.

Steve

P.S.  Nice photo and quotes in Newsweek!
