For things like web servers, where the destination is a
client PC with a single user, the net effect is per-connection
state, since magnitude(connection) == magnitude(destination).
The only escape is an edge proxy for multiple clients at a
single site.
I agree that this is a possibility, but I think the majority
of web site traffic is single client, no pedge proxy.
Note that even if there _is_ an edge proxy, that the proxy
itself will satisfy the request: the origin server will
never see it. As a result, we are back to ther being a
direct correlation,. i.e.: magnitude(connection) ==
magnitude(destination), from the point of view of the
server.
