Typically you are right. And without knowing the hardware of the P99 server, I wouldnt be able to say for certain. But there are stress-test tools on the internet that when combined with cheap-processing power from cloud providers can do some serious damage for very little overhead.
Any anti-DDOS/intrusion software tho would prevent this kind of attack though since all packets originate from a single IP/subnet. But a single server does have the ability to run a DDOS against a not-well-defended machine.

"In a DDoS attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources – potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single IP address; plus, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin". Quote from Webopedia.
So I guess that is the main reason Rogean can't stop it.
