Would it help if they allowed users to specify some port other than the default, perhaps only as a fallback? I am presuming that it would be easier for them to prioritize traffic to a given range of ports -- in this instance the NON standard ones -- but perhaps that's wrong.
If so, I wonder if they could counter this now by 1) implementing that 2) opening and publishing a not-standard port for login solely for that purpose 3) maybe moving that change-the-default port around if the DDOS shifts on to it.
Even if not-perfect they'd force the attack to spread resources.
