I believe this answers your question:

There are other products that do SYN flood protection, you should read this article:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/5/21284.html
Which links to this paper presented at the 10th USENIX Security Symposium:
http://www.tech-mavens.com/synflood.htm

Since then, vendors are getting fairly good at hardware-based SYN flood protection
in their products, in particular, the Foundry SI:
http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/siug/ServerIron_DOS_Protection.html#33200

Ask your vendors what they have on the roadmap for DoS and SYN flood
protection. Also, you might want to look into other ways for DoS/SYN
flood protection; there are many good ideas out there.
