Example of the Information Collected
from this AFRL Government Internet Web Site for Statistical Purposes.
| xxx.yyy.com (or 123.123.23.12) --
this is the host name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you
as the visitor). Depending on the requester's method of network connection,
the host name (or IP address) may or may not identify a specific computer.
Connections via many Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses
for each session, so the host name identifies only the ISP. The host name
(or IP address) will identify a specific computer if that computer has
a fixed IP address.
