The PingOfDeathDetectionEnabled property gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether Forefront TMG will generate an event when a ping-of-death attack is detected.

A ping-of-death attack is one in which a large amount of information is appended to an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request (ping) packet.

This property is read/write.
