I like it. Nice and clean diagram.

I believe NAT64 & 'provision of additional IP address and port ranges'
should be 'yes'. NAT64 uses a IPv4 NAT pool much like NAT444 and needs to
support all the bells and whistles...APP, EIM, HP, PB, etc

Same goes for " Requirements for provision of additional IPv4 addresses and
port ranges" and "NAT64". I believe it should be 'none' since it is
automatic.

Thanks,

Reinaldo
