So, if the NAT device was limited to only 500 mappings, then the experience would have been ok for 99% of the time and degraded 1% of the time.

But it's surely an interesting exercise. I noticed that in your experiment you leave out popular protocols like bittorrent, which makes up most of the internet world traffic and would surely gain to be integrated in such data series. On the other hand, some people on this mailing list (who work at large ISPs, or core network routers manufacturers) have access to would look more like real-world statistical data and we should probably turn to them to get proper information about what is currently happening on the inter networks. -- _Ivan C._
