The subject is a quote of Maxim Dounin in a discussion found here: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?29,246885,246902#msg-246902

It would be nice to have a detailed list of SPDY functionality that could be used as a DDoS vector. And it would be even better, to have an nginx configuration example to workaround each problem without simply disabling features.

Last, should there be a default configuration in nginx/spdy which prevents the abuse for DDoS attacks?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
