Seems to me that N will vary depending on what you are trying to do.
Remember, what I'm trying to do is avoid user-visible regressions while getting rid of NAT. Today in IPv4, tethering just works, period. No ifs, no buts, no requests to the network. The user turns it on, and it works. IPv4-only apps always work. A model where the device has to request resources from the network before enabling tethering, or before supporting IPv4-only apps, provides a much worse user experience. The user might have to wait a long time, or the operation might even fail.
