[c-nsp] PBA best practices

[Adam Vitkovsky]

Hi folks,

Would like to ask regarding PBA best practices.

From the documentation it was obvious that from a performance point of view using smaller number of larger pools is better than using large number of smaller pools.
But how do I strike the balance? In other words what is the average number of sessions for an average internet user?

I'm interested in these values in particular:
block-size ?saw 512 or 1024?
max-blocks-per-user ?have no idea 2 or 4?
active-block-timeout ?
overall mapping-timeout ?
address sharing ratio ?16:1 before spamhaus blacklists the public IP?

If anyone could share their experience or point me to some nanog presentation or a best practice doc that would be great.
