Hi Jordi

My alternative to MAP-E is plain old NAT 444 dual stack. I am trying to avoid the expense and operative nightmare of having to run a redundant NAT server setup with thousands of users. MAP is the only alternative that avoids a provider run NAT server.

Regards,

Baldur

Ask the vendor to support RFC8585.

 

Also, you can do it with OpenWRT.

 

I think 464XLAT is a better option and both of them are supported by OpenWRT.

 

You can also use OpenSource (Jool) for the NAT64.

Hello

 

Are there any known public deployments of MAP-E? What about CPE routers with support?

 

The pricing on IPv4 is now at USD 20/address so I am thinking we are forced to go the CGN route going forward. Of all the options, MAP-E appears to be the most elegant. Just add/remove some more headers on a packet and route it as normal. No need to invest in anything as our core routers can already do that. No worries about scale.

 

BUT - our current CPE has zero support. We are too small that they will make this feature just for us, so I need to convince them there is going to be a demand. Alternatively I need to find a different CPE vendor that has MAP-E support, but are there any?

 

What is holding MAP-E back?  In my view MAP-E could be the end game for IPv4. Customers get full IPv6 and enough of IPv4 to be somewhat compatible. The ISP networks are not forced to do a lot of processing such as CGN otherwise requires.

 

I read some posts from Japan where users are reporting a deployment of MAP-E. Anyone know about that?

 

Regards,

 

Baldur
