Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Limits attacker success in sustaining network amplification DoS against the primary by providing a ready alternate processing capability.
Provides continuity when primary telecom is disrupted by insufficient control of network message volume or amplification.
Network-volume amplification against one channel can be bypassed via the pre-established alternate path.
Implements network message volume controls to block amplification DoS vectors.
