Thanks for the tip. I don't know why I didn't think to use the filter. I guess 1,000 or so subscribers equals 26,000 or so connections. That's good to know. In this instance I have a private /21 NAT'd onto a public /28 with the ccr 1036 and have plenty of spare room on the CPU. Just an idea for Chuck's case, but the 1036 with 4 10G ports and 12 1G ports is only about $800 from Baltic. You could get 4 of those for your 8,000 user load and have 4 hot spares in the rack. Assign a private /21 to each unit. You could create a LAG for the 4 10G ports to get a 40G uplink. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Steve Jones" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 1/15/2018 3:40:37 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IPv4 exhaust again filter by reply destination address and then by tcp state established is what i did On Mon, Jan 15, 2018 at 2:35 PM, Adam Moffett <[email protected]> wrote: I took him to mean subscribers when he said 8000 connections. As far as Layer4 connections we're performing NAT for, I'm not totally sure how to tell. If I torch the LTE PDN interface, it counts up for awhile and then freezes. Connection tracking is showing something like 120,000 items but that isn't strictly stuff we're NAT'ing. Some traffic just passes through. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Steve Jones" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 1/15/2018 2:21:54 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] IPv4 exhaust again srcnat is what we use. 1800 connections right now from one section of the network On Mon, Jan 15, 2018 at 1:10 PM, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: What flavor of NAT does mikrotik implement?

You can get 8:1, 16:1 or even 32:1 out of a single public IPv4 address. Give 8 customers 8k ports each, or 16 customer 4k ports each, 32 customers 2k ports each. That's *source* ports, so they're not limited to 8k, 4k or 2k connections total. You have to look at in both directions. 10.10.10.10:1024 -> 8.8.8.8:53 and 10.10.10.10:1024 -> 8.8.4.4:53 mappings are both valid, and it obviously goes a lot deeper than that. Seems to be a whole lot easier than some crazy NAT appliance that's running the whole network. I haven't done anything like this, but I'm considering it. I think Juniper even lets you do this with a couple commands? Yeah, I'm too cheap for that. Something else to keep in mind is that most consumer grade routers still have a fairly limited connection table. My Cambium cnPilot router I have at home lets you adjust the max table size (up to 8192). Most are 2k or 4k. While even a low-end MikroTik will give you >100k.
