not yet cleared. "receives a NAT64+ mapping rule" for what? is the NAT64+ mapping rule stateless or stateful? what the behavior of NAT64+ in the case of "except"? is there "and" or "or" between the "received ..." and the "have IPv6 prefixes..." clauses? please answer directly: do you mean c. instead of b.?
