Re: [Softwires] Stateless implementation plan

Hi Cameron,

Good question. Yes, MAP is deployable even in that case (though the
mileage may vary). One deployment approach suggested below.

What's really interesting is that MAP-T CE function (with sharing
ratio=1, thereby disabling NAT44 on CE) could get us quite comparable to
the CLAT function, and still allowing to use the PLAT device for
stateful NAT64. This flexibility got be highlighted, IMO.

Cheers,
Rajiv

PS: One of many deployment approaches could be to 
	- take one public IPv4 address (or prefix) out of the pool 
	assigned to CGN, and use it in MAP as the starting point
	- exclude that IPv4 address (or prefix) from CGN
	- share that IPv4 address (or prefix) among 2^n subscribers
	using MAP

Needless to say that this would be done on a per PDN GW basis. The above
approach takes quite a simplistic view, suffice to say, and we could
come up with more approaches. I bet that you already thought through
most of this already.
