<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;">this won't help all victims of dns amplification attacks, since many of the congestion points are measured in PPS not BPS. they need attenuation, not just the absence of amplification. attenuation in both PPS and BBS.</p>
