Description
Identifying source and destination addresses for information flows within the network allows forensic reconstruction of events when required, and increases policy compliance by attributing policy violations to specific individuals. Means to enforce this enhancement include ensuring the network element distinguishes between information systems, organizations, and between specific system components or individuals involved in sending and receiving information.

Verify the router uses a unique identifier (e.g., IP address) for the destination domain to track and log information transfer sessions between the router and other network elements. View log entries to verify the information tracked includes a unique identifier for network elements involved in information transfer. If a unique identifier for each component is not logged for information transfer sessions, this is a finding.
