Because in one case your staff has assigned an IP to a customer. In the
other, an IP was automatically assigned to a customer, and it might stick
with them for a few seconds to a few months. You have no idea how long,
so your people make no record of the assignment. For abuse tracking, you
would look at your network gear and/or its logs (RADIUS logs, etc.) to map
an IP to customer.
