i saw somewhere on this message board a solution to Smurf attacks. That solution used 8 lines in an extended ACL's permiting ICMP and UDP echo and echo-reply, then rate limited the ACL using CAR. Here is my mine question:

If I want to limit a smurf attack to a max of 128K, and normal 8kbps using CAR...why not use the "verify unicast" command on the interface and have that point to a permit any any ACL...then rate limit that ACL to the above parameters.
