Re: CGNAT growing pains

You may have run in to this, but Hulu also limits (or they were before I
canceled the service personally) the number of “homes” you can use it at,
and they tracked this by IP. So, if your customer’s IP changes more than a
few times a year they will not be able to use the service they’re paying
for.

Last time I was responsible for said problem I was looking at alternate
solutions to do CGNAT on, and reducing the domains from an architecture
perspective…obviously they both have big repercussions.
