Hi Noel,

In Section 6.1, you say:

"Push as a mechanism is also fundamentally less desirable than pull, since the 
control plane overhead consumed to load and maintain information about unused 
destinations is entirely wasted.  The only potential downside to the pull 
option is the delay required for the demand-loading of information."

Another downside of the pull option is that the XTR must ensure the freshness 
of information that it pulls to itself. In order to ensure freshness, the XTR 
relies on LISP-specific protocol machinery (e.g., control information 
piggybacked on user data). With that additional machinery comes additional 
operational complexity and security considerations.
