ESCRIPTION
An address sweep attack occurs when a source IP address sends number of
ICMP echo requests (or pings) to different hosts within a defined interval. The
purpose of this scheme is to ping several hosts in the hope that one will reply, thus
uncovering an address to target, resulting in system failure. This command is
included in the OA-700's default attack prevention list.
