You must have not read my post, because I specifically said that there are too many IP addresses for the router to block. If it were that simple, DDoS attacks wouldn't be much of a threat.

Rawrrior also makes a good point that IP addresses can be spoofed/faked. The Internet was designed at a time when everyone was trusted so security was an afterthought to the Internet.
