Well, that is nice thery, but I'd like to see how you react to 2Gb DoS
attack and if you really intend to put filters at the edge or would not
prefer to do it at the entrance to your network. Slammer virus is just
like DoS, that is why many are filtering it at the highiest possible
level as well as at all points where traffic comes in from the customers.
