There are plenty of nice & free firewalls that would suffice in stopping the attack, no need to buy anything.

His main issue is a host that can't stop a ddos attack at the router lvl, by no means should a true ddos be attempted to be stopped at the server lvl.

Most likely it is a simple flooding of ports anyways by a bunch of kiddie hackers with to much free time & port flooding programs they dl'd from the net.
