Assuming the attacker has a 100mbps link to you, yes ;->

A script kiddie 0wning a box with a FE connection is nothing.  During what
was probably the worst DOS I got hit with, one of my upstream providers
said they were seeing about 600mbps of traffic related to the attack.

Yes, these numbers keep growing.  By today's standards, 6000 Mbps
shouldn't be too surprising. 8-(

One of the servers I keep running was recently flooded with 1500-byte
UDP packets, Fast Ethernet line rate.  It definitely happens if your
pipes are fat enough.
