A transmission is assigned a new IP address each time it reaches the public, those outside an organization cannot trace the origin of the transmission back to the specific network node that sent it.....

However the IP address assigned to a transmission by the gateway must be an internet authorized IP address, thus it can be traced back to the organization that leased the address.
