I'm grateful for the efforts put forth in finding a reliable means of
prevention to this attack. I have seen it's effects. For the benefit of those
working on the solution, I wanted to share what I see when the attack is in
full swing:

Running FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
using ipfw
the kernel was compiled with:
    maxusers        390
    options         NMBCLUSTERS=10000
    options         NBUF=8192

Here is the log output:

Jan 19 22:27:17 Irc /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - adjust NMBCLUSTERS or
increa
se maxusers!

BANG!!! Reboot!
