In other words, the party doesn't have to dole out any beer to the gate crashers, and the kegs don't get all that crowded.

And what do you suppose "block" the calls? What do you suppose process the incomming call, send out requests (or do it all itself internally with huge data tables) to figure out were the IP might actually originate from? What do you suppose send out a page telling that the request is blocked (not sure it did or if it just ignore)? What do you suppose recieve the call to be blocked to start with and so on?
