DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange IPv6 Parsing Solution
I have found a solution to this two year old, unresolved problem: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/DoS-attack-Teardrop-or-derivative-Ping-of-Death-strange-non-DHCP/td-p/10676...
The LAN delegated prefix and the Start Address are the same except the "1" in front of the "/64" on the start address. When I try to change that to "3/60" I get an error that says "the start address is incorrect". I also tried to copy the LAN delegated prefix and change the last three to "3/60" as instructed, but same result. Doesn't seem to work on the C7000 modem/router.
Has anyone gotten this, or some other solution to work? Checking all the forums, it looks like this issue has existed for over 4 years. Endless DOS attacks from iPhone due to IP address glitch. Only solution: replace with different brand?
