For one iPhone it reported 209.183.54.151 as having GREAT source port randomness and GREAT transaction ID randomness. However, despite the test reporting GREAT, the source ports were _definitely_ non-random.

"Proving random" is not easy. Proving random that isn't done by certain methods (i.e. certain algorithms or certain sources of entropy) is easier.
