I used to get attacked huge a load of corrupt UDP packets for a few seconds and that used to hang the main server, wich in 1 or 2 minutes disconnected all my players.
Solution: separate your UDP services from your TCP services in separate applications and servers, also use different type of protection services for each.
The attack still hanged the UDP services, so I started thinking about making a plugin for snort to analyse the traffic and only allow legit protocol packets. I haven't done any of this last idea because the attackers stopped since they noticed that no one was being disconnected.
BTW, for TCP and HTTP I just used any tiny service that protects me from SYN Flood, like Voxility resellers.
