Re: IDS246 Large ICMP Packet

["Bevan, Graham" <gbevan () CSC COM>]

Andre,
     The DF flag indicates it might be Path MTU Discovery.  What is the
length of packets?  If it is the same size as the largest MTU size that can
traverse from 32.96.212.11 to 200.210.111.132 without fragmentation, then
again this suggests PMTU.  Not sure about the ID and SEQ staying the
same...

     I think this is good argument to add a IF DF=0 rule to IDS246?  What
do others think?

Regards,
     G.L. Bevan.

[**] IDS246 - MISC - Large ICMP Packet [**]
11/13-12:53:37.296852 32.96.212.11 -> 200.210.111.132
ICMP TTL:247 TOS:0x0 ID:10257  DF
ID:48282   Seq:61662  ECHO

There are over 62 of these alerts in a week's logfile, all of them
with the same ID and Seq (not to mention they are all from the same
origin, 32.96.212.11).
