I'd like to make a program that can see if an IP is sending my router packets more than a specific size and then proceed to block the IP from communicating with router.

Depends on the router.

Packet size is pretty much the same across all types of traffic though - it isn't going to help you identify a malicious source by any means. Packets do a thing where they increase in size until there is loss, where it stops growing.

But yeah with a good router, maybe somehting with pfsense, can do all of this and more.
