UDP and ICMP Flood Attacks are a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack.They are initiated by sending a large number of UDP or ICMP packets to a remote host.
As a result, the victimized system’s resources will be consumed with handling the attacking packets, which eventually causes the system to be unreachable by other clients.
The image below shows an example of UDP flood protection packet dropped:
