Whilst a denial of service attack is possible from authenticated clients, it's also more likely that there will be administrative means available to track down and punish offenders. Maybe we need two different thresholds depending on the class of the client.

Wasn't this related to early buggy Windows clients, though?  They were
authenticated but bringing fileservers to their knees.  It's not uite as
simple as "we can track them down" when it's screwing your fileserver up in
production.
