It _contributes_ to set the number, yes, but with due consideration of the following: - Users behind common CPE's typically don't have their peak consumption at the same time. - More and more of these applications will be possible in IPv6 (thus consuming no IPv4 port at all). (Extending IPv6 availability as widely as possible, including behind legacy CPE's, is therefore key. That's exactly why we together submitted draft-despres-6a44 ;-)) > It's > the number of simultaneous ports, not the amount of traffic, > that counts. Sure, that was of course well understood.
