It is really unimportant who sent the packet, as that is easily faked, but where it came from, what country, what exchange could provide a wealth of information in tracking "the bad guys". You could keep logs of your packets received by session, and have a very good idea of where your problems are coming from, without having to have an id.
The isp's aren't into making the investments in infrastructure to make these kinds of things possible, so they push it back at the user, and let it be defeated by FUD, because no one really wants to have their actions tracked in such a draconian way.
It seems Kapersky is another shill.
