Not only that, but some corporate systems can route packets through
multiple gatewayhs, giving one the impression that one has several
sessions going, when it is the same person. I found that out while
watching a live session with a potential large corporate client. The
client was on the phone with me from a remote location, viewing files on
my machine as we spoke. I saw several different IP numbers come by as
specific files were being fetched.
