I presume by "a fair amount", I presume you mean "barely any"?

At large packet sizes, an "enterprise level" router will just about handle
a 1G DoS attack.  Thing is, bandwidth DoS / DDoS is sufficiently easy to
pull off on a large scale that a 1G DoS is pretty easy.

Incidentally, most service providers use "enterprise level" as a by-word
for mediocre quality kit, lacking in both stability and useful features.
