When the script detects counters or log entries were exceeded a user-defined threshold, it can reconfigure the firewall filters modifying the accept action to a discard action. You can limit the number of ICMP packets that are admitted into a network at all the edges, thereby diminishing the effect of a smurf attack. For example, if you limit all peers to sending 200 Kbps of ICMP packets, a smurf attack may temporarily devastate its target, but the network resources, including bandwidth, would not be nearly as stressed.
