Ole,

Where can I get the formal definition of 1:1 mode? My understanding of 1:1
refers to one public IPv4 address per subscriber but you refer very
specific to decoupling IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Before MAP was accepted as WG item, MAP was proposed to embed IPv4 address
information (EA bits > 0) in the CE IPv6 address to achieve stateless. Now
there is a new proposal to add a new feature to have the IPv4 information
in the BR only. This change requires to provision individual subscriber
information to the BR (instead of aggregated information). Benefit are
saving bits and breaking v4 and v6 address dependency.

Questions to WG:
Is it useful feature to be included in MAP? If not, why and alternative?

Thanks,
Yiu
