So, I found the source material, the article is poorly written - maybe plagiarized.

Start on page 7-9, mitigation
http://www.arbornetworks.com/dmdocuments/Arbor_Worldwide_ISP_Security_Report.pdf

They have a point considering that the goal of DDOS is to bring the network down, the article stinks, because it does not offer an alternative to ripping your firewall out.

The conclusion from the pdf says:

"Inter-domain traceback and attack mitigation mechanisms need to be deployed ubiquitously across the Internet, and primary option mitigation solutions must provide more capabilities than simply completing an attack for an attacker."

Which, is a great deal more sensible than "shut your firewalls off"

This sort of a log requires accurate time keeping, which the Xbox does not seem real great at.

FWIW, I'm sitting next to a windows 7 machine that claims to be illegal, it's full of shit.
