ACSP Suggestion 2006.2: Filter access to our network BY REGION

Suggestion

Author: Oleksiy Maloshtan   
Submitted On: 25 September 2006

Description:

We are experiencing problems with Brute Force Attack on our FTP server every day from different regions (IP hosts).

My question is if there any way to filter access to our network BY REGION (by certain IP addresses that belong certain regions, for example to China) or not? The idea is to put IP (or mask such as 218.*.*.*) on a router to restrict access to our network from certain region(s). If it is possible, then, where I can find IP range for the regions to create a filter?
