- hueving 10y agoWell what good is that? You can't tell if multiple IP,port pairs are from a single client or multiple clients.
- vishvananda 10y agoThe nat device will have different source ports for two connected clients.
- hueving 10y agoIt would also have different source ports if the client is using random source ports as well. So two client connections from the same host behind NAT would look exactly the same as two client connections from two different hosts behind NAT.
- gafferongames 10y agoHence the authentication on the web backend and the unique 64bit client id.
