Perhaps this has been said before, but it sounds like the world needs 
a "spoofed packet discovery protocol".  Something that would allow 
authorized users to query a router and ask it questions about where, 
etc packets destined for a given ip address are coming from.  With 
this in place, one could trace back spoofers as quickly as we can 
currently trace normal routing (traceroute).
