            Thank you greatly. That makes perfect sense as I have
    never changed that value. We do have a good and fast network so
    this is more than likely legitimate but it is nice to know that
    the alarm goes off if that limit for ICMP traffic is reached.
    That seems like a valid limit to have at least for now.
