The current scarcity of IPv4 Internet addresses is a concern for service providers and other large organizations that provide broadband Internet access. The preferred mitigating technology, IPv6, is not anticipated to reach sufficient levels of adoption before the availability or cost of IPv4 addresses becomes a challenge for these organizations. While an IPv4 address sharing scheme is clearly needed, it should not replace or detract from efforts to adopt and deploy IPv6. Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) is a technology that provides IPv4 address sharing capabilities that use and can co-exist alongside native IPv6 facilities. This presentation provides an introduction to MAP-T geared towards service providers and other large network operators.
