there is a new draft on MAP deployment in the works. should be out any day now.

it is certainly simpler if you have some available IPv4 address space to start 
with.
e.g. with a /14 of IPv4 space, you'll get 16 million subs for a sharing ratio 
of 64. or a /16 with a sharing ratio of 256 .

if you have zero IPv4 addresses left to play with. you can convert a subscriber 
at a time. then for every subscriber converted, you'd get sharing-ratio-1 IPv4 
addresses reclaimed, that you can do the same with.

cheers,
Ole
