I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback and want to restate some of my thoughts for 
further discussion:

1. It seems like the MAP-T is still in an initial phase of 
development/production. I’ve seen a few other people mentioning it, but it is 
early in deployment today.

2. When working with smaller and regional eye-ball networks throughout the US 
you need to be aware of a couple things. Think no engineering team, just an 
implementation crew and local support people (Small telco mentality). They need 
commercially available and widely supported solutions.

Based on the feedback I’ve seen so far, I would think that positioning a MAP-T 
solution in these scenarios might be more of a hassle and turn into a support 
nightmare. I’m leaning toward DS-lite and NAT444 right now as these are more 
proven and have greater deployed bases.

Thoughts…
