The way that an internet service provider identifies their individual customers varies from company to company, depending on how their systems work. An IP address can often be shared by hundreds of people at once – in order to find out which device is accessing the illegal content other data would be required, for example, port numbers (akin to a house number where an IP address is akin to a post code) or MAC addresses (the identifier of the particular computer).These are the types of data that may be used to identify which &quot;other identifier&quot; belongs to the sender or recipient of a communication. The purpose for which these data types are retained is strictly limited by the clause to resolving the sender or recipient of an internet communication – the shorthand for which is IP resolution.</p><p>The IP resolution clauses in the Counter-terrorism and Security Bill will enable a device linked to an IP address to be identified in many circumstances.
