Keeping logs of who is on what IP at any given time is a simple enough matter, but if there are 50 customers on private IPs NAT'd to a single public IP, and all the subpoena gives you is the public IP, I'm not sure how that helps.
I'm hoping we'll have IPv6 working on all our customers by the time we run out of IPv4 address, and we can just run dual stack with CGNAT... I'm thinking the combination of having port blocks assigned to specific private IPs and IPv6 would cover the majority of these cases.
