   I don't administer firewalls, but I find it unlikely that a firewall's   
   correct response to a perceived attack is to reboot.  Not only does it   
   hurt valid traffic: it makes it forget about the "attack", so that it   
   reboots again when it persists.  IMHO this is what you should look   
   into rather than those broadcast packets.
