Hi
Amplification attacks and syn floods are just touching the surface of ddos attack vectors.  You should look into some 
industry reports:
Here are a couple examples to get you started.

I just had a look on that and thought that its only be able to detect some of the attacks. You might not detect large 
state of the art reflection and amplification attacks with that method. But i think it is useful for some sort of 
attacks like SYN flood. Do you agree?

Sure, I will definitely think about hat.

Thanks again for your reply and for providing the links.
