An Internet
Protocol Address (IP Address) is the starting point for
not only initiating communications across the Internet but also to
trace back the same to a particular Computer System. Of course, an IP
Address is not always as it seems to be and there may be instances of
IP
Address Spoofing where the IP Address is forged to mislead
the Traceability exercise. This is also the reason why an IP
Address should not be the exclusive criteria to arrest and convict an
accused.
