In the cyber world, the current state of the practice regarding the technical ability to track and trace Internet-based attacks is primitive at best. Sophisticated attacks can be almost impossible to trace to their true source using current practices.

The report concludes with a closer look at technical and policy considerations for next-generation Internet protocols to enhance track and trace capabilities.
