  •    MAP Customer Edge (CE): A device functioning as a Customer Edge
                               router in a MAP deployment.  A typical MAP CE
                               adopting MAP Rules will serve a residential
                               site with one WAN-side IPv6-addressed
                               interface and one or more LAN-side interfaces
                               addressed using private IPv4 addressing.
    
       MAP Border Relay (BR):  A MAP-enabled router managed by the service
                               provider at the edge of a MAP domain.  A BR
                               has at least an IPv6-enabled interface and an
                               IPv4 interface connected to the native IPv4
                               network.  A MAP BR may also be referred to as
                               simply a "BR" within the context of MAP.
