Description
Check the box to activate the DoS Defense Functionality.
Click this button to select all the items listed below.
Check the box to activate the SYN flood defense function.
Once detecting the Threshold of the TCP SYN packets from
the Internet has exceeded the defined value, the Vigor
router will start to randomly discard the subsequent TCP
SYN packets for a period defined in Timeout. The goal for
this is prevent the TCP SYN packets' attempt to exhaust the
limited-resource of Vigor router.
By default, the threshold and timeout values are set to 2000
packets per second and 10 seconds, respectively. That
means, when 2000 packets per second received, they will be
regarded as "attack event" and the session will be paused
for 10 seconds.
Check the box to activate the UDP flood defense function.
Once detecting the Threshold of the UDP packets from the
Internet has exceeded the defined value, the Vigor router
will start to randomly discard the subsequent UDP packets
for a period defined in Timeout.
