Abstract
Methods and systems for providing differentiated network services using Mapping of Address and Port using translation (MAP-T) technology are described. A method includes provisioning a service specific IPv6 network prefix and a service specific basic mapping rule to an access device, the service specific IPv6 network prefix associated with a differentiated network service level, provisioning a service specific mapping rule to a border relay, identifying by the access device service packets associated with the differentiated network service level, translating by the access device the identified service packets to the service specific IPv6 network prefix using the service specific basic mapping rule to generate service specific packets, forwarding the service specific packets to the border relay via a service provider network, translating return packets to service specific return packets using the service specific mapping rule, and forwarding the service specific return packets to the access device.
