Drop frag-
mented
IP packets
If enabled, fragmented IP packets are discarded, forcing re-
transmission of these packets. In some situations, this could
prevent successful communication, so this setting is normally
disabled.
Block TCP
Flood
A TCP flood is excessively large number of TCP connection
requests. This is usually a DoS (Denial of Service) attack. This
setting should be normally enabled.
Block UDP
Flood
A UDP flood is excessively large number of UDP packets. This
is often a DoS (Denial of Service) attack, but some streaming
applications also use UDP, and blocking UPD packets may
prevent them from working correctly.
Block
non-standard
packets
Abnormal packets are often used by hackers and in DoS at-
tacks, but may also be generated by other network devices.
(PCs will normally not generate non-standard packets.) This
setting is disabled by default, but on most networks it can safely
be enabled, and doing so will provide greater protection.
