SMB IPS Max Ping Size Attack

During the tests for CPs WatchTower App, i found a most interesting entry in Statistics:

Who is responsible for this traffic ? In logs i could see that my iPhone, connected to SMB wireless, has sent the package to LAN6 Switch where the Wireless network is defined. Why that ? Unclear RFC ?

But we have exceptions ready:

Since that was defined, no more Max Ping Size Attack has occured 😀 !

I saw it on my own gateway as well, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do a large ping through it. 😬
Probably worth a TAC case.

Was a TAC opened for this?  I've seen this on previous firmwares about the same attack.

I believe I've verified that one of my sites with this message receives these hits from a Samsung Mobile device. I feel like maybe Samsung tries to do some connectivity tests when on WiFi that CheckPoint doesn't like. Not sure if anyone else can see the same thing.

Large ping to the default gateway is common in mobile devices.

Just bypass this protection from your wireless networks to the gateway.
