Hi,

The attack wasn't enough to crush a 100Mbps circuit but it was enough to crush the web servers/database servers.

That is why I was looking for something smaller scale than say Arbor or CiscoGuard.

thanks,
-Drew

I'm not aware of anything on a small scale.  Are you looking for an 
all-in-one?  What speeds are you dealing with?
