Have you yet read the legislation? I've only read the ones from 4 states -
I quit looking when I see how almost identical they are.

As the point of the legislation is to protect the communication service
provider from fraud, I would say the in the case of a NAT device, the NAT
device itself is the "source" or "destination". For example: in my case,
this would be the CPE directly attached to my cable modem - my trusty
Linksys router.
