Hello community,

  I've strange behavior of my MX80 (junos version 11.4R8.4) under ddos
attacks. Router drops all bgp sessions (hold timer expiry) with a
3-5gbps ddos. Can someone explain me what a hardware input drops is:

I've firewall input filter on lo0.0 and jddos enabled and I've noticed
that protocol reject is violated while ddos is active:

But I don't have any reject action in firewall rules. Please point me
to right direction.

Kind regards,
Alexander.
