I assume this is the IP where from the Stata connects the server.
Although not exactly aware of, I can understand only because all IP
addresses are meant to identify the location of the user on the
internet and each user gets a unique IP and the structure of IP are
usually as it is visible. So this may be the case that Stata connects
with the information on IP to identify the location of the users.
I hope this explains somehow.
