ICMP broadcasting attack is a type of DoS attacks. A flood of ICMP
broadcasting packets is generated and sent to a server (like AXIMCom
X-Router). Consequently, this server will suffer from a huge amount of
interruptions and consumption of computing resources.
AXIMCom X-Router is able to stop responding to ICMP broadcasting echo
packets in order to avoid a potential ICMP broadcasting DoS attack.

An ICMP redirect message is a way to change the existing routing path.
Generally, ICMP redirect packets should not be sent, and so when there is
the occurrence that ICMP redirect packets are sent, it is important to note
that it is very likely to be used as a means for a network attack.
