I'm wondering if there are any real world examples of this, namely in
the realm of subscriber to IP and range of ports required, etc.  ie: Is
is a range of 1000 ports enough for one residential subscriber? How
about SMB where no global IP is required.

One would think a 1000 ports would be enough, but if you have a dozen
devices at home all browsing and doing various things, and with IOT,
etc, maybe not?
