Hi Ole,

Assuming that the Unified CPE draft gets adopted by the workgroup, then
there needs to be alignment of the different drafts reflecting this.

The unified CPE draft describes how a CPE interprets the presence (or lack
of) configuration parameters to understand which softwire mode to
configure. If a MAP CE implemented this (to be a 'unified MAP CE'), then
it would have two ways of configuring 1:1 mode - via the presence of the
tunnel endpoint address, an IPv4 address (and optionally a restricted port
range) and also through a BMR with EA=0.

Two ways of configuring the same function doesn't seem like a good idea,
even if the underlying mechanism that this function is implemented with is
different.

So, what I would propose is that EA=0 for MAP is not included as a
provisioning option in the MAP draft. If the parameters described in the
unified CPE draft required for 1:1 mode are configured on the unified MAP
CE, then it should interpret these to mean EA=0 and configure itself
accordingly.


I also think that it would be cleaner if this 1:1 functionality was
described in a separate document to the current MAP draft. As the 1:1 mode
functionality of MAP is a big architectural change to the mesh mode
function, it really needs a lot more than 2 paragraphs in order to
describe what it is and how it is used.


Best regards,
Ian
