If you look at the UDP packets captured by Wireshark, you'll find the e-mail addresses you need to contact the owners of the servers that have been hammering you.
Perhaps you can let them know of the issue, and maybe they can block outgoing traffic to your IP for the time being.
An iptables won't do much. The only thing you could possibly do with that, is block UDP to port 80 where it's going, but it won't stop the traffic flow.
Getting a 1 Gbps server wouldn't matter, if this person has access to several "drone" servers - surely they can match it, and if not, it's a simple matter of adding more "drones".
Also get into contact with OVH about this, they are in a better position to stop the traffic flow than you are - even with a Cisco firewall - by blocking these UDP port 80 dest packets. Send them the Wireshark output when you contact them.
