The brief problem in accessing www.nanog.org was due to numerous
parallel
downloads of a large video file by a single source IP address.  We have
no reason to believe it was malicious in intent, but the offender has
been
blocked anyway.

[WEG] In the lovely CGN future, not only will you see this type of behavior (multiple pulls from the same IP) all of 
the time, your response to block it would have taken tens or hundreds of users out of service simultaneously.
/troll

Not meant to fault your response, merely to point out yet one more way that CGN is likely to break things where an 
assumption of 1 IP = 1 user/host/network exists.
