What about legacy software that decides what port it is going to use?
Well their packets go to the wrong hardware? Seems a BIG security hold to me.
This is equivalent to the current practice of giving a home gateway an IP
address with all 64k ports. These ports are _already_ shared by devices
behind the NAT. The difference with port sharing is just that you start out
with fewer than 64k ports. Legacy software of the type you describe already
doesn't work with a NAT.
