SonicOS 7 Network Firewall
Flood Protection
The Network > Firewall > Flood Protection page allows you to:
- Manage:
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) traffic settings such as Layer 2/Layer3 flood protection, WAN DDOS protection
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) flood protection
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) or ICMPv6 flood protection.
- View statistics through the security appliance:
- TCP traffic
- UDP traffic
- ICMP or ICMPv6 traffic
SonicWall defends against UDP/ICMP flood attacks by monitoring IPv6 UDP/ICMP traffic flows to defined destinations. UDP/ICMP packets to a specified destination are dropped if one or more sources exceeds a configured threshold.
