MAP Parameters

MAP Parameters control the behavior of MAP-T and MAP-E. These parameters are configured by the nat nat64 map parameters command from within config mode, which enters config-map-param mode where the individual values are set.

From within config-map-param mode, the following commands are available:

fragment ignore-df:

Allows TNSR to perform IPv4 fragmentation even when packets contain the do-not-fragment (DF) bit. This improves performance by moving the burden of fragmentation to the endpoint rather than the MAP relay.

fragment (inner|outer):

Controls whether TNSR will fragment the inner (encapsulated or translated) packets or the outer (tunnel) packets.

icmp source-address <ipv4-address>:

Sets the IPv4 address used by TNSR to send relayed ICMP error messages.

icmp6 unreachable-msgs (enable|disable):

When enabled, TNSR will generate ICMPv6 unreachable messages when a packet fails to match a MAP domain or fails a security check.

pre-resolve (ipv4|ipv6) next-hop <ip46-address>:

Manually configures the next hop for IPv4 or IPv6 routing of MAP traffic, which bypasses a routing table lookup. This increases performance, but means that the next hop cannot be determined dynamically or by routing protocol.

security-check (enable|disable):

Enables or disables validation of decapsulated IPv4 addresses against the external IPv6 address on single packets or the first fragment of a packet. Disabling the check increases performance but potentially allows IPv4 address spoofing.

security-check fragments (enable|disable):

Extends the previous security check to all fragments instead of only inspecting the first packet.

tcp mss <mss-value>:

Sets the MSS value for MAP traffic, typically the MTU less 40 bytes.

traffic-class tc <tc-val>:

Sets the Class/TOS field of outer IPv6 packets to the specified value.

traffic-class copy (enable|disable):

When enabled, copies the class/TOS field from the inner IPv4 packet header to the outer IPv6 header. This is enabled by default, but disabling can slightly improve performance.

Note

MAP-specific virtual reassembly parameters have been deprecated in favor of shallow virtual reassembly. See IP Reassembly.
