Hi Ole,

From my perspective, your MAP 1:1 mapping table looks not so really like 
Lw4over6 binding table, which can be established in a static or dynamic way or 
both.

AFAIK all the 1:1 rules in your mapping table must be pre-configured statically 
as other rules in MAP aggregated mode, which means that with the 1.1.1.0/24 for 
address sharing available with 256 ports per user, the BR can just support 
exactly 64K CEs at most. However, as the lwAFTR allocates IPv4 addresses and 
ports dynamically, with these resources the lwAFTR can keep 64K lwB4s connected 
simultaneously, and nobody knows how large the number of lwB4s that the lwAFTR 
can support at most can be. Please note that this number could be much larger 
than 64K, because not all the supported lwB4s may be online at the same time. 
IMHO that the MAP mapping table can just be configured statically seems to be a 
limit when it comes to 1:1 scenario.

Best regards!

my point is that your LW46 mapping table will look exactly like the MAP 1:1 
table. no?

cheers,
Ole
