It is our observation as the limit before you regularly run out of ports
using Linux as a CGN server.

It will still work if you have more users on an IP. The users will just
experience session failures at peak. Low levels of that might show up as
pictures that fail to load on a web page and be ok when the user reloads.
This will increase the number of support calls and the number of customers
that asks to escape the CGN. Or people will live with it and just think
that the Internet connection is low quality.
