Protecting your servers, workstations and networks can only go so  
far. Attacks which consume your available Internet-facing bandwidth,  
or overpower your CPU, can still take you offline. His presentation  
will discuss techniques for mitigating the effects of such attacks on  
servers designed to provide network intensive services such as HTTP  
or routing.
