Here is some unverified calculations I did on the problem of scaling nat.
Right now I'm using 42 translation entries in my nat table. Each entry takes up 312 bytes of FIB memory, which is ~12.7 Kib of data in the FIB. Mutiply this by 250k users and we have 3,124,237 KiB of FIB entries, or 3.1 GiB. This is not running any PtP programs or really hitting the network, I'm just browsing the web and typing this email to you.
This is really interesting data. What hardware is this on? Thanks, -drc
