This is an interesting topic for the world, and has become even more interesting after Estonia and other similar incidents. The challenges in this space include overcoming deployment problems and lack of interest to complete the design which troubled earlier attempts such as i-trace. And there would be a requirement to have a solution that cannot be easily circumvented by botnet implementors changing the style of their attacks.
Mark Handley has promised to work on a presentation for int-area on this topic in Chicago. The focus of the discussion will be what can be done about the challenges, and whether the research community has progressed far enough deliver solutions that are ready for deployment. If the discussion proves fruitful and a concrete BOF plan can be found, a BOF in Vancouver is a possibility.
