On IPv6 Traceback using Deterministic Packet Marking

The motivation of IP traceback is to identify the true source of an IP datagram in internet. These techniques now emerging as effective deterrent for current cyber threats, especially (D)DoS. Deterministic Packet Marking (DPM) is one of the algorithm used for IP traceback. This paper elucidates the implementation of deterministic packet marking scheme on IPv6 networks. The proposed scheme is capable of single packet traceback. We also examined the issues regarding IPv6 header and show that this scheme is practical, scalable, efficient and can be implemented on existing IPv6 networks easily.
