A single router doesn't, but, 1, I was referring to the whole path that THAT router handled, that is, the destination private IP and port in the LAN, to identify a particular device, as well as the public IP in a typical NAT/PAT home setup, which was the point under discussion, and 2, not that it matters in this context (and not that this context matters all so much....) it's possible (likely I'd think) that the whole path can be put together from information stored in various device on the along the path. This is how net criminals get caught.
