Multiple xbox 360 or Playstations multiplayer gaming with NAT/PAT

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented multiple gaming console's on a network with NAT/PAT with full multiplayer gaming functionality? In particular using enterprise grade firewalls or routers.

I was thinking someone in the university education space may have done this (student dorm networks).

Thanks for the help!

What do you mean by "implemented"?

Running multiple boxes behind one NATed router? Yes, no problem with Xbox 360 and PS4.
But I guess it depends on the router and your provider and bandwidth.

By implemented I mean successfully have running in an environment.

Per the research I've done, multiplayer gaming, p2p and client/server (where the server is another user console) having multiple console's behind a firewall not using UPnP (usually all enterprise class) does not work.

I'm not concerned with bandwidth. I'm concerned with NAT/PAT and multiplayer gaming on enterprise device. We can call is a cisco ASA if that helps clarify.
