Hi,
Just a minor point:

All address indirection solutions that are application-transparent do
map both source and destination addresses at both ends. I.e., you
have
four mappings per packets: The respective local addresses (source
address at the sending side; destination address at the destination
side) are mapped to achieve provider independence. The respective
remote addresses are mapped to achieve application transparency.
Yes, you need a mapping on both sides, but no, you don't need to do
all 4 per packet. You can leave the source identifier unmapped. You
map the destination identifier to destination locator at the source
edge and unmap the destination locator back into the destination
identifer at the destination edge. You only need to map the source
when you need to send something back (yes, if you have multiple edge
devices at the source, it can make it a bit more difficult to find the
one the packet came out of if you need to).
As I said, a minor point.
