Routing considerations

Figure: MAP-T deployment scenario

The routes related to MAP-T are:

Routes related to MAP-T are advertised through IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. MAP-T routes in the VSR are owned by ‟protocol nat” with a metric of 50. This can be used to configure an export routing policy when advertising MAP-T routes in IGP or BGP.

Multiple MAP-T domains can be supported in the same routing context.

Note: IPv6 IA-PD end-user prefixes are carved out of the IPv6 rule prefix. Aside from MAP-T, IA-PD is used for native IPv6 end-to-end traffic outside of MAP-T. Although the IPv6 rule prefix is not marked as a NAT route in the routing table, it is nonetheless advertised in the upstream direction.
