Flooding is currently an Internet-wide issue, so it's importance is widespread. HashCash is a known way to dissuade nodes from flooding, however it doesn't alleviate the issue. Due to the data being largely generated by machines (such as GET requests, rather than by human input) it is infeasible to use any such solutions.
