100gb/sec+ DDoS attacks have been seen for the last 3 years or more - 80gb/sec isn't that rare, unfortunately.  Most 
(but not all) of these very high-bandwidth DDoS attacks are DNS, SNMP, ntp, or game-server reflection/amplification 
attacks.

S/RTBH, shutting down links, cooperative multi-operator mitigation, BCP38/84, etc.
