[arin-ppml] Draft Policy ARIN-2019-2: Waiting List Block Size Restriction

[Chris Woodfield]

The issue here is that when you combine site overloading via SNI with CGNAT becoming much more prevalent on the client side, particularly on mobile networks, you wind up with a larger number of TCP sessions concentrated onto a few number of source/dst IPs, which means it’s more likely that you can hit the limit of 65K sessions between two given IP addresses (I won’t repeat the math that was shown earlier in the thread, but it looks solid to me). Most content providers really want to avoid this. As such, most website operators explicitly want to avoid sharing IPs with other sites.
