- How DDoS attacks influence network infrastructure and applications.
- How can we protect ourselves against them:
-- What can be done in-house?
-- Traffic analysis and automatic network configuration in response to threats
-- What is better achieved with external DDoS mitigation services?
- How protection can (or rather: will) fail and what can be done about it.

- Kernel-level performance issues:
-- Measuring how your system reacts and what it really does during an attack using HWPMC (Hardware Performance Monitoring Counter)
-- Using HWPMC to find other issues with firewall performance.
-- How we improved FreeBSD kernel to better handle DDoS attacks.

- Latest trends:
-- the changes on DDoS attack scene.
-- new threat: IPv6.
