I figured SMB would chime in...but his research says it's not so anonymous.
Give or take NAT boxes / firewalls that specifically have features to mess with the IP ID. The SonicWALL products have, for example, a checkbox that says: "Randomize IP ID". Some vendors apparently have taken measures to ensure methods such as monitoring IP ID are less effective. The paper notes this, and the issues with doing this. So the "not so anonymous" statement above is really "not so anonymous, give or take the implementation of the firewall/NAT".
