The number of pool members matters, too. The F5 can reuse source ports to a degree (sol7820). The most concurrent connections we've seen with a single SNAT (AutoMap) and a pool of 4 servers is 187,000 (at which point ephemeral port exhaustion was logged). I'm sure it would have gone higher - but the servers began slowing down, leaving connections open longer and longer.
