Could you explain how this can resolve my issue? I am not sure how this would work.

If the issue is flooding to your interface IP, that's not a relevant countermeasure. You're pretty much limited to asking the upstream to filter traffic to your interface IP, or asking them if you can renumber the interface into non-globally-routed IPs. If they're unwilling to do either, "you've chosen the wrong transit provider" and should start shopping for replacements.
