Won't somebody think of the routers?! Header size is 8-20 (without options) and if you read the article closelyer you'll see the total packet size was 480ish.

I dont know how you are getting 21/461 = 22 ?
- BoppreH 12y agoI was being handwavy with the values (adding a fixed 20 bytes for header), but let's try something more precise: the average packet size was 483 bytes (average data length = 441 bytes) So header size is 42 bytes (483 - 441). Assuming the request uses the same headers, we have 483 / (1+42) = 11.23 amplification. My point is: this is important, but not a 440x amplification attack.
