    WG,

    draft-ietf-softwire-map-08 contains this:

    7.3. Backwards compatibility

    A MAP-E CE provisioned with only the IPv6 address of the BR, and with
    no IPv4 address and port range configured by other means, MUST
    disable its NAT44 functionality. This characteristic makes a MAP CE
    compatible with DS-Lite [RFC6333] AFTRs, whose addresses are
    configured as the MAP BR.

    In view of the recent discussions on provisioning, this
    functionality strikes me as useless. There would be no reason for
    an ISP to use such provisioning. A unified CPE would just do
    DS-Lite if that's what's available.

    I suggest to remove that section.


You seem to equate ds-lite to being only there if it uses ds-lite dhcpv6 extensions, which is not correct. Consider the case where a MAP deployment has a need (for whatever reason) to direct some CPEs to an AFTR (stateful NAT). Instead of rolling out Ds-lite DHCP extensions all over, it is trivially simple to achieve the desired effect with the above MAP CE behaviour in place. This does not mean that those who want to use DS-lite dhcp extensions cannot do so, if available. But it does mean that those who deploy MAP, don't have to take care of mandating ds-lite dhcp extensions "just in case" all over the shop. As such, the functionality is IMO useful, and almost trivial to achieve in an implementation.

Agree with Woj and an exmaple is demostrated in Section 4.1 of http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-xli-softwire-map-testing-02.txt
