Not all attacks involve saturated pipes.
There used to be anti-DDoS vendors whose boxes didn't even have WAN
links. Part of the problem is that operating systems come with TCP
stacks and web servers which are not very robust, so it's pretty easy
to create something which behaves spectacularly better under certain
attacks.
