depends on the application.
For example ping on Windows systems behaves quite well, it doesnt send LOADS of packets it sends them in a orderly fashion (-t just does it forever but still not enough). But if you did the same on a unix system (linux/bsd) and replaced -t with -f you will end up sending about 100 packets a second or as fast as the system can send them out. Would you be able to lag out someones ADSL connection? unlikey.
Added to the fact that most routers on the Internet (as in big ones that connect big networks together) normally do not give ICMP packets (ping) priority over say, TCP packets, you really are pissing in the wind. Maybe 5-10 years ago this would be affective means to kick someone off their modem but these days it will do diddly squat. SYN attacks are quite common and effective but require an open TCP port iirc.
