I agree with Brian, MAT would work as it breaks from the NAT mentality
and may be more manageable in the future.
About the choice of an acronym that differs from NAT:
- MAT (mapped address translation) does not suggest that no (non
reversible) translation is applied. It also suggests that mapping and
translation can be simultaneous, rather than having distinct properties.
- SAM66 (stateless address mapping), which I like, may be problematic
because of all the new technical contents that goes with SAM.
==> What about, at least for the time being, NAM66 (network address
mapping), or NAC66 (network address conversion).
