Hi Med,

I am, as you remember, well aware of these rules. 

But the fact is that, with the fixed PSID offset = 4 of 4rd-u (which could 
easily also apply to MAP), we have the following:
 R-4: sharing ratios are from 1 to 2048 (PSID length limited to 11 for odd-even 
pairs always be in port sets) => OK
 R-7: ports 0-1023 are excluded for sharing ratios 2 to 2048 => OK
 R-8: well-known ports can be assigned to CEs with sharing ratio 1 => OK

So far, this seems to me so completely sufficient.

Yet, if some ISP has a deployment plan where it is convincingly necessary to 
have more flexibility, that is of course worth discussing. 
But if there is none, time has come IMHO to simplify what can be simplified.

Cheers,
RD
