Re: SYN flood atacks?

["Stephen J. Wilcox" <steve () telecomplete co uk>]

we took around a gig of port 80 syn flooding to a customer web host, it was 
around 12-3pm utc.. ended when the customer disappeared off the net. not sure if 
this is unusual tho, theres hundreds of such attacks per day globally...
