Small DDoS attacks can (and will) do just as much damage as a large scale attack will.
DDoS Attacks: Size doesn't matter
According to Radware, size doesn't matter when it comes to DDoS attacks.
Radware's ERT found that the majority of successful attacks were made with less that 1 Gigabit per second. Others work by devouring server resources. They also found that firewalls and IPS alone cannot stop DDoS attacks, and in some cases, the firewall is the weakest link.
What can you do? Collect information about all attacks, not just the big ones. Do your risk analysis. Be ready and willing to work with your ISP.
Don't assume that you are not at risk for a DDoS attack just because you are small. Plan for the worst.
