The argument against (if the postprocessing is significantly after
logging the IPs) is that with dynamic IP adresses, it's not clear how the

With IPv6 and carrier grade NAT, IP addresses are not in and of themselves the full set of information necessary to identify a system. You need the address + port, and only the ISP can map it back to any individual system.
