Someone else commented in the article, but it's probably related to Puerto Rico ISPs using a NAT because of lack of IPv4 address space. That single ip is probably many many people.
- tyingq 10y agoThat one doesn't make sense to me. Most people don't have ntp configured to point to ntp.pool.org...they are mostly PC's pointed at time.windows.com. And, the pool is big enough anyway that it would spread the load from a relatively small island pretty well. NAT could be a small part of it, but there's a different primary cause.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoIt doesn't necessarily need to be Windows making the calls. Cell phones use a NAT typically and there was recently an issue with Snapchat DDoSing NATs.
- tyingq 10y agoThat's an example of a "different primary cause". It's not NAT in that case, it's an app using a library with terrible defaults.
