column SNMPv2-SMICounter64
The maximum allowable IP packet size is 65,535 bytes, 
including the packet header (typically 20 bytes long). 
An ICMP echo request is an IP packet with a pseudo header, 
which is 8 bytes long. Therefore, the maximum allowable 
size of the data area of an ICMP echo request is 65,507 
bytes. 
              
However, many ping implementations allow the user to specify 
a packet size larger than 65,507 bytes. A grossly oversized 
ICMP packet can trigger a range of adverse system reactions 
such as denial of service (DoS), crashing, freezing, and 
rebooting.   
              
When the Ping Death option is enabled, the device detects and 
rejects such oversized and irregular packet sizes even when 
the attacker hides the total packet size by purposefully 
fragmenting it. 
              
This attributes counts the  ping of death attack packets.
