Ah, the dreaded SYN Flood attack - I remember learning about this in my networking class. I'm going to guess A) Alert, because that seems like the most basic response to a potential attack.

I agree with you, A) Alert is probably the safest option to start with.

I believe the default action is B) Random Early Drop, to prevent the network from being overwhelmed.

I think it's C) Reset-client, to stop the attack before it causes any damage.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm torn between B) Random Early Drop and D) Sinkhole. They both sound like they could be the default action, but I'll have to think this through a bit more.

Hmm, the SYN Flood option - this sounds like a classic network security question. I'm going to go with C) Reset-client, that seems like the most logical default action to me.
