Hello,

Looking at the presumed ICMP payload you posted, and starting with
0x45, you have a UDP packet from 70.91.131.49:16229 to
82.246.252.214:2597.

I decoded this quickly -- someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Nothing appears to be listening on port 2597 UDP, so you are seeing a
"ICMP Destination Unreachable Port Unreachable" ICMP error message.

Your IDS is not reporting ports because ICMP doesn't use ports.

Sincerely,

Richard
