Well, APNIC ran out years ago, so as someone with experience running a =

running behind CGNAT as long as you are upfront about it (in the FAQ's, =

16k broadband users without major issues (apart from dealing with random =

nobody notices. You will want a good DDOS scrubbing solution though as =
you can't just block a destination IP that happens to be in one of your =
IP pools.
