if something is not replying on the IP stack, the Netgear known flawed "DoS attack" does tend to spill masses of such messages. Typical issues on flooded NAT sessions, not receiving expected answers in time, and often if the Internet connection uplink is segregated ... it's amazing how much theories are developed and pushed on this subject to these communities over the year. Gee, if an ISP or different service provider with this massive bandwidth available would DoS most users Internet connections would immediate lead to a interruption of your Internet services - faster than you can think of or figure out IP whois ownerships.

i wish Netgear would immediately go and disable this DoS attack junk, avoiding leading their customers mislead for things which are normal in daily network and IP operations.
