[j-nsp] (d)DoS handling

I've heard rumors that JunOS has some sort of knobs for handling (d)DoS,
such as packet floods with spoofed source, etc (we all know them all too
well). Is there such thing, and if there is then what IS it and how exactly
it works?

(I am well aware that currently nothing radical can be done to prevent
those, besides constant customer and provider education about usefulness of
source address forging prevention techniques and dropping IP space under
attack from global BGP tables, when it is possible. *yech*).

Thanks,
