Modern OS change their outgoing IPv6 address fairly often. They could grab 10,000 from the pool and rotate between them every second.

IPv6 addresses can be ephemeral? What, DHCP is assigning a whole range to each client? Didn't know that.

Pretty weird. For internal stuff I would be using IP addresses to identify peers. Ephemeral IP addresses in logs aren't very useful.
