Hi Tetsuya-san,

I agree, of course, on the need to support several mapping rules.
But IMHO one point needs clarification (see below).

As already discussed privately, I don't know realistic cases where two rules 
would have IPv6 or IPv4 overlapping prefixes.
Consequently, it seems that "longest" match, while being permitted, doesn't 
need to be a requirement.
Would you have such use cases to share?
