For why - do you or plan on having like 65 thousand clients on the same network? A /16 mask doesn't belong on an interface. A /16 is good for summary routes, firewall rules, assignment of a network to companies locations in NA for example.. Which they then subnet out for their hundreds and hundreds of locations across that region of the globe ;)

A /16 mask provides only 65,534 addresses. If you have that many devices, you have other problems. Go for smaller subnets. For example, my ISP provides a /23 subnet for all the customers in my area.

I assume you actually mean how many connections?
That depends on the hardware and available WAN bandwidth. There is no artificially imposed limit though.
