Are you talking about cgnat ? if so, Why do you only see blocks 512 and 1024 ? I see 8 - 4096....
Where do you see these settings ? I see bulk-port-alloc but I don't see anything about max-blocks-per-user, active-block-timeout, overall mapping-timeout, address sharing ratio ??

From the documentation it was obvious that from a performance point of view using smaller number of larger pools is better than using large number of smaller pools. But how do I strike the balance? In other words what is the average number of sessions for an average internet user? I'm interested in these values in particular: block-size ?saw 512 or 1024? max-blocks-per-user ?have no idea 2 or 4? active-block-timeout ? overall mapping-timeout ? address sharing ratio ?16:1 before spamhaus blacklists the public IP? If anyone could share their experience or point me to some nanog presentation or a best practice doc that would be great. adam Adam Vitkovsky IP Engineer T: 0333 006 5936 E: adam.vitkov...@gamma.co.uk W: www.gamma.co.uk This is an email from Gamma Telecom Ltd, trading as “Gamma”.
