Just a general obersavation in this area while most of these attacks seemed going to the top 3 MSN, AOL, Yahoo, and lesser to Excite, Lycos I seem to get at times even at a T1 at work and cable @ home delays. To me more os the DDos seem to go at ad servers those pesky pop up's/unders and well the page of many major sites lag or will not load as so many depend upon these types of ads. So if your a major site does it depend upon a cookie and ad from another server and is that server under a DDos. Humm gotta make the ad people butts pucker DDos double click and 2/3 of the net is gone..Just what I noticed at times make of it what you want..just the connect and page load times Do Not Compute...
