On the residential properties that $EMPLOYER provides triple play to, the n=
odes behind each CPE can maintain up to 5 leases. And there are a few home=
s that actually use them - mostly homes that have webcams on them. But mos=
t homes go the overloaded NAT route and just translate different ports to d=
ifferent RFC1918 addresses...
But at least in theory, what you're saying you haven't seen, is done up to =
some limit already at some ISPs.
