I don't recall saying it will stop all DoS attacks.
It will help minimize them.
Please discontinue imagination. You obviously don't understand how
traceroute works by sending udp packets and getting icmp ttl expired
messages back which are not icmp {echo,echo-reply}. Come back when you do
understand how it works. /sigh

They're not, but there is still a large amount of things that
just do ping -f <10.2.3.4> and similar types of attacks. If you know
what your usual patterns are, it's easy to notice what is out of
place.
