I'm no expert in cryptography, but it seems to me that what is needed is a function which is expensive for the originator of a packet to calculate, but cheap for the receiver to verify. This will make sure that the source of a swamping attack must have a much larger CPU than the receiver. I don't know if there are any such functions, but perhaps the cryptographically sophisticated among us could enlighten?
