DoS Attacks, Detecting the Source, and Service Providers

Hi everybody,

Maybe a newbie question, but I was wondering if back-tracing packets to its source is a service provider requirement? I mean if one of my hosts is being attacked, for example a simple ICMP DoS attack, what could I do if the service provider doesn't cooperate?
I was wondering if there are certain procedures to detect the source of attacks?

Thanks in advance,
Hamid
