AltostratusDoes server efficiency increase with more number of SNAT addresses?
Could someone explain how using more number of SNAT addresses increase server efficiency? I'm aware that more number SNAT addresses reduces ephemeral port exhaustion, however, I would like to know ho...
It could be that they meant: "server-side efficiency", because the server-side port-selection of TMM is faster when there is a bigger pool to choose from:
It tries to preserve the client's source port, and then goes on a walk among all ports to find a free one if the preferred port can't be used. When there is a big pool of ports (more IPs mean more ports, as it's 65K per IP), then a new port will be found with a shorter walk.
