Comment: Standard MTU is 1500 bytes, rather than 150 bytes

opFlow can detect anomalies by determining what an average network usage baseline would be and comparing it with traffic of a suspected anomaly event. DoS attacks flood the network with packets from an untrusted source and usually it is a rather large packet size. Packet sizes are normally no larger than 150 1500 bytes, creating an ingress policy for specific ports to discard packets larger than 150 1500 bytes could prevent some DoS attacks from ever occurring. opFlow clearly displays the sources and destinations of flow traffic allowing for you to see when an unknown or untrusted source is sending flow data to your network.
