Arian,

I don't have hard facts for you, but I would assume that most wireless
data services providers (i.e. T-Mobile, etc, basically GPRS Internet via
GSM and the like) will probably proxy or NAT their devices sessions. I
strongly doubt that every cell phone has their own routable IP address.

Since mobile Internet connectivity is increasing, and IPv6 adoption is
rather slow, I would think it's safe to preach the old "Thou shalt not
associate IP's to sessions" mantra for a while longer.

Cheers,
Frank
