I would  appreciate an English translation  of the phrase you just used.

So, you are saying 'smurf and other TCP/IP attacks' don't exist now? Or
that they do not pose any actual problem? 

Does that mean you will be the one to mail _and call_ our customers the
'We are sorry' notifications from now on -  every time one of our users
gets  smurfed, which usually results in a whole pipe _or_ more than one
of them going down affecting our connectivity severely.

I appreciate  your friendliness  and near-to-the-real-worldliness  with
this matter.
