Greetings:

This just showed up in a security check output log:

> icmp-response bandwidth limit 240/200 pps
> icmp-response bandwidth limit 213/200 pps
snip pages of this

Note the change from a sig 11 to 10.


A DOS attack?  The machine is up, I can connect via ssh, and I'm a bit
at a loss of what, if anything, to do about this?

Thanks,

Riley
