NAT-T generates quite no more restrictions than non NAT-T tunnels.

Number of VPN tunnels may be a little bit lower with NAT-T than
without: we do know that PFKey's buffer is the actual limitation when
increasing number of SPD/SAD entries, and entries with NAT-T will
generate (a few) more data per entry.

I don't have exact numbers to provide to you, but expect number of
running NAT-T tunnels to be a bit lower than without NAT-T.


This is the only limit AFAIK.
