A Survey on IP Traceback Mechanisms

Security is used to protect the vital information by allowing those who have the right to access and denying the access to those who dont have right. IP spoofing is one of the network attacks. The attackers will launch an attack by forging the source address. So they will be able to enhance the attacking without exposing their real location. The attackers uses fake source IP address to hide their actual places. To find the attackers so many IP traceback mechanisms have been proposed in this paper.
