I feel like defining a custom App-ID in option A might be too specific for just session flooding. It seems like a broader solution.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about QoS Profiles being useful for managing traffic. Could option B be a good approach too?

I think option C is the right choice since a tuned DoS Protection Profile should help mitigate session floods effectively.
