Hi, >> I was reading http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-lisp-24 when I noticed >> the following text in section 6.1.4, 'Map-Reply Message Format': >> >> Locator: an IPv4 or IPv6 address (as encoded by the 'Loc-AFI' field) >> assigned to an ETR.

So (part of) this text is describing the RLOCs of the packet, not the RLOC in the content of the Locator field then? It now looks like the text is describing the content of the Locator field only.
