When you are attacked, can you stop it by filtering out the attacker's IP
address/range? If you can then it's not so bad. It's easier to track the
attacker down and also defeat the attack, compared to some other DOS attacks.

I find it interesting that Redhat 7.0 is said to be not affected whereas
Redhat 6.1 is. Why is that the case? Is it a configuration issue on 6.1?
