Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are continuously overwhelmed with various kinds of security threats. Amongst these threats is Denial of Service (DoS) which represents a huge umbrella of powerful attacks. It is very essential to understand the complexities of these attacks and counter-mechanisms existed in the literature. The best antidote to defend against these attacks would be to resolve the problem at its root by identifying the source of the attacks. The traceback technique realizes such a forensic analysis of the internet traffic. In this paper, we explain our novel approach of IP traceback based on marking approach and that used the Chinese remainder theorem to conceive the communication protocol in WMN IEEE 802.11s environments. We evaluated the performance and the efficiency of our proposed scheme based on some collected evaluation metrics.
