The reason I ask is because I'm considering implications of the toralf tor-ddos script on relays that use IPv6. By its very design, there are a number of hosting providers that will provide, say, a routed /48 for a low cost which could then be used to completely overwhelm the IPv6 anti- DDoS firewall rules (unlike the IPv4 rules where an attacker would need to buy a costly new IPv4 just to get an additional 8 connections). ?
