I have a really paranoid firewall filter to protect the RE. It only
allows BGP from my direct neighbors, icmp is via policer etc. etc.

So i doubt that it was a normal DDoS Attack.

Meanwhile i heard that other members from the INXS expirienced high CPU
usage on their C routers also and lost some BGP Sessions.
