Actually, the so called 'aggregated mode' is original MAP-E, with IPv4 address 
and PSID embedded in the EA-bits field in End user IPv6 prefix. Let me try to 
explain what you have 'aggregated'.

1.1.1.1:01 -> 2001:db8:101::/48 (EA-bits: 0x101)
1.1.1.1:02 -> 2001:db8:102::/48 (EA-bits: 0x102)
1.1.1.1:03 -> 2001:db8:103::/48 (EA-bits: 0x103)
.
.
.

The IPv4 address and port set are the same in what you called 'MAP 1:1'. 
However, the corresponding IPv6 addresses are totally different. Because one 
uses MAP algorithm, the other doesn't. 


The original MAP-E achieves address sharing by embedding IPv4 suffix and PSID 
into End User IPv6 prefix. But if the EA-bits is ZERO, PSID is also ZERO. 
Nothing embedded in the IPv6 prefix. In this case, the so called 'MAP 1:1' 
abandons the MAP algorithm and uses a per-subscriber stateful kind method to 
achieve address sharing. That is NOT MAP-E. 

So I question why 'MAP-E 1:1' bears the MAP-E name.
