there is a new draft on MAP deployment in the works. should be out any day now. > In my brief and simple skimming, it appears to me that setting up one of > these solutions would require me to collapse my existing network to harvest > back the addresses so that they may be redeployed in map. 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 . > What would the deployment process be for an address exhausted network of 10 > million subs with 10% annual growth be? 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 _______________________________________________ Softwires mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/softwires
