As the Internet becomes pervasive, the vulnerability ofsome fundamental design aspects of the Internet has alsobecome significant. Among which, Denial-of-Service(DoS) and Distributed DoS (DDoS) pose significantproblems, as they are disruptive to the useful traffics andare hard to prevent. One solution consists in institutingaccountability, which hold the attackers accountable forthe attack. The key issue is to identify the "real" sourcesof the attacks as attackers use spoofed IP address to hidetheir actual network location. However, the Internetarchitecture does not provide intrinsic support foridentifying the real sources of IP packets. Numerousmechanisms have been proposed to "traceback" the realsources. Most of such works have been addressing the IPversion 4. In this paper, we address the issues of IPtraceback in the context of IPv6 and Mobile IPv6. Thispaper provides a detailed analysis of these issues andproblems. The main problem lies with the transformationsthat are introduced by IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 protocols,namely tunneling and addresses manipulation. We thenpropose a solution, including new ICMPv6 messages fortraceback co-ordination, to facilitate the tracebackmechanism.
