How stop DoS and SYN attack..

DDOS, whence the attacker flood you with more packets then your pipe<s> 
can handle leaves you at pretty much the mercy of the attacker.  No 
different the plumbing if a one inch pipe is fed by a 5 inch pipe, the one 
inch pipe is filled to more  then is can push forth.  Upstream providers 
might beable to provide some assitance in limiting the flood, but if the 
aggregate bandwidth of the attacking pipe<s> are again larger then the 
upstream SOL is the case.


Thanks,
