MAPPING OF ADDRESS AND PORT (MAP) PROVISIONING

摘要

Mapping of Address and Port (MAP) provisioning of a device to enable exchange of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets with an IP version 6 (IPv6) domain is contemplated. The MAP provisioning may be sufficient to facilitate provisioning of a router to process IPv4 packets for exchange with the IPv6 domain of an associated modem.

1. A method for provisioning a router embedded with a modem as a Mapping of Address and Port (MAP) node operable to facilitate transport Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets over an IP version 6 (IPv6) domain, the method comprising:
parsing a configuration file received at the modem having a plurality of type-length-values (TLVs), the plurality of TLVs provisioning the modem to communicate over the IPv6 domain and including at least a first TLV having a first value set to one of a disable value and enable value; and communicating the first TLV from the modem to the router whereafter the router disables the MAP node if the first value is set to the disable value and enables the MAP node if the first value is set to the enable value.
