There is a DARPA funded research project called Lighthouse at the University of Michigan that is working in this area.

See: http://www.darpa.mil/leaving.asp?url=http://www.eecs.umich.edu/lighthouse I understand that there are other DARPA funded efforts working on different aspects of the DOS problem (automatic detection, trace back, counter measures). Take a look at "Networking & Distributed Systems" under http://www.darpa.mil/ito/ResearchAreas.html In particular see: http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J032-0.html http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J910-0.html http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J028-0.html
