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 ??

Subject: [c-nsp] PBA best practices

Hi folks,

Would like to ask regarding PBA best practices.

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.
