Ya, you are right. Got confused for a millisecond with dslight ;) Too 
many things going on right now. My bad.

As far as I remember - LW4o6 is useful in cases where you don't have one 
huge IPv4 block of addresses to assign to the transition mechanism 
and/or where you want to dynamically assign additional ports to the CPE 
if it runs out of it.

If none of this is a requirement, then MAP-E/T should be the way to go.

Do we have any experiments/deployments of 464XLAT in fixed networks? 
CLAT in CPE and NAT64 in the core?
