	We've had GE ports doing line-rate during DoS attacks.

	Infact we've had 2 GE ports doing the ae0 (aggregated ethernet)
doing line rate.  We've since gone to 10ge in those locations, so I can't
remember the exact hardware configuration.

	Those were some impressive tests of the hardware.  Vendors
that want hardware/forwarding testing just need to request a DoS
attack ;-)
