the MAP and LW4o6 document series are stable and should be published as RFCs real soon now. all are at "Approved - announcement to be sent". https://datatracker.ietf.org/images/iesg-draft-state-diagram.png there are at least eight IETF solutions (L2TP, DS-lite, 464XLAT, Public 4over6, Lightweight 4over6, 4rd, MAP-T, MAP-E) to the same problem (IPv4 or shared IPv4 over IPv6). it's going to be interesting to figure out how 554bis should deal with that. cheers, Ole
