Uhm, I'm quite positive that 97.8 mBit coming in through our uplink are 
a pretty good indicator for an attack.

And by "probing" I meant that maybe the attacker only tried to determine 
our maximum bandwidth for a larger-scale attack, since the DoSes stopped 
fairly soon without any outer influence.
