I wonder if that would be a reason for the relatively anemic 1Gb Internet
pipe-- making sure that a DDoS couldn't push enough packets through to
inconvenience the LAN party.

(Disclaimer: $DAYJOB did the audio/visual/lighting for QuakeCon but we had
nothing to do with the network and I was utterly uninvolved in any way,
so my speculation is based on no information obtained from outside my own
skull.)
